Spring Wings Bird Festival

05/19/2023

Bring your binoculars and see if you can spot all the birds you can for our Big Day Birding Competition!

------

Rules: Find as many birds as you can on May 20th from 12:01am Saturday morning til 11:59pm Saturday night. You can start from home, or Festival Central in Fallon, or where ever you desire. There is no geographical limit. Results can be reported anytime on Saturday, and no later than 11:00am on Sunday at Festival Central in Oats Park, Fallon, NV.

Sightings will be based on the honor system, but reports will be spot checked by some expert birders, and our selection of the winner will be final.

The individual or team who spots the greatest number of species will get their name engraved on the first ever Spring Wings Big Day Birding Contest trophy and bragging rights until the next festival! The trophy will be maintained on display at the Stillwater National Wildlife Refuge office in Fallon.
