Bird Fest "At a Glance"

Check here for a quick look at the Bird Fest program schedule and plan your day, or just get an idea of what kind of events we offer, and then click the link to the pdf of the complete program for details.

In the "Pre-register" column:

--"Yes" denotes a trip for which ALL the participants must pre-register, beginning May 1 through the Leavenworth Chamber of Commerce. Please note that if your desired trip is "Full" there may be no-shows, and therefore empty slots that we will fill from a waiting list of hopefuls who are present when the trip is almost ready to depart;

--"1/2" means that 1/2 of the participants may pre-register, but the remaining slots are saved for "first come, first served" on the day of the event (you may sign up 30 minutes before the departure time);

--"No" means no pre-registration is necessary. Just meet at the designated site 30 minutes before the event, and you can sign up.

The "Full" column denotes trips where all pre-registered spaces are full, but there may be room on a waiting list and an opportunity to fill the spaces of "no shows."

Updated: Friday, May 9, 5 PM.

Note: Weather is supposed to be fantastic next weekend! Come one, come all!
