About
Welcome to the annual Detroit Lakes Festival of Birds! Whether you’re a beginner or experienced birder, or somewhere in between, the Festival of Birds has something for you! Detroit Lakes is located in a unique merging of three biomes – tallgrass prairie, hardwood and conifer forests with a landscape peppered with lakes and wetlands. The Detroit Lakes area is a migration hotspot with more than 250 species of birds! Our festival goal is to provide you with a quality birding experience.
Experienced leaders help birders see several species and learn about habitat on early morning field trips. Gather with friends at our evening socials with presenters humorist Al Batt on Friday, May 17 and Don Kroodsma with The Joy of Listening, as we learn about birdsong on Saturday, May 18. Saturday afternoon features a workshop, exhibitors and a silent auction at M State College.
