“Wing Fest is a week-long series of excursions for novice and experienced birders of all ages. Participants will visit prime birding locations in the Crowsnest Pass with experienced local guides and observe an amazing diversity of bird species in a spectacular landscape,” said event organizer, Merilyn Liddell of the Crowsnest Conservation Society.

The first outing will take place May 26 at 6 p.m. on the Sentinel Trail and at Crowsnest Lake. All outings begin at the Crowsnest Conservation office in Blairmore, where carpooling will be arranged.

On May 27, participants will head out at 6 a.m. for Beauvais Lake Provincial Park. Pack a lunch for this day’s hike which will run until early afternoon.

The group will again gather May 28, at 7 a.m. for an outing down Tent Mountain Road. Another hike will commence on this day at 6 p.m., from Lundbreck Falls to Todd Creek.

With a starting time of 7 a.m., May 29, the group will head for North Burmis Road and hike to the Gap. The Gap trip is the only one not suitable for all family members. Rough terrain in some areas makes foot access difficult. Hiking boots and poles are recommended. Bring a lunch, snacks and water for this outing, and dress for changes in the weather.
