3rd Annual Burke County Birding Festival
June 20 - 21, 2008
Bring your bird list and come experience the sights and songs that make the
Burke County Birding Festival a premier birding adventure.

Guided birding tours and prairie wildflower walks, family events, and fabulous food will be featured at the 3rd Annual Burke County Birding Festival.  The Festival is held on Lostwood National Wildlife Refuge, 16 miles south of Bowbells on ND State Hwy 8.  Lostwood NWR is a Globally Important Bird Area providing essential habitat for bird species including Sprague’s pipit, Baird’s sparrow, and the piping plover.  The newly renovated observation tower allows visitors a “bird’s eye” view of the prairie atop a 50’ viewing platform. 

There is no charge for any of the events at the Refuge, but to plan for guides and food we are asking that people pre-register.  Please complete the form on our Registration page or click here for a printable form you can send in.

Information on the 2008 festival can be found on the “Schedule” page.
