What is the Delta Marsh Birding Festival?
A birding festival is:
1. An occasion for celebrating the wonders of birds.
2. A joyous gathering of people who watch birds.
3. An opportunity to help local business through birding tourism.
4. A clever and effective way to promote bird and habitat conservation.
The Delta Marsh Birding Festival will showcase the world famous Delta Marsh. This site was designated as an “Important Bird Area” (IBA) by Bird Studies Canada in 1999. The dates for the festival coincide with the predicted height of the warbler migration. There will be seating areas where you can also buy food and drinks, so you don’t have to worry about bringing those things from home. You can, however, bring your cell phones and laptops because you can freely access the internet. Seeing how the festival lasts a whole day, you may want to watch videos or play games when you want to take a break. You can even play casino games and earn great rewards.
