Get Ready for a 2022 Winter Wings Festival Like No Other!
We are planning a 3-day Festival to be held in the Klamath Basin over Presidents’ Day Weekend, February 18-20, 2022. It will be great to reunite with many of our festival fans in person. The festival will have a new format. Our working concept is to reduce the size of some of the field trips, offer more walking tours, do some remote activities, visit some new destinations, and appreciate the importance of the Klamath Basin in the Pacific Flyway. We have attracted two top-notch nationally known keynoters for Friday and Saturday evenings (assuming that the Oregon gathering guidelines allow it). Children’s activities and vendors are not expected to be offered in 2022. At this time we are planning to offer 40 – 45 in-person sessions to vaccinated attendees but guidelines are subject to change. We plan to release our Covid 19 guidelines in Sept. 2021.
The Winter Wings Festival is produced by Klamath Basin Audubon Society volunteers with support from sponsors, grants, and participant registration fees. Proceeds from this festival support local grants to teachers and other entities for outdoor education and community nature-related projects. Typically the reported species at the festival number about 120 – 133. Here is our 2019 festival bird species count.
