13th Annual Snow Goose Festival

January 26, 2012 - January 29, 2012
9:00am - 7:00pm

It's a Big Year for the 13th Annual Snow Goose Festival of the Pacific Flyway!

Millions of waterfowl migrating along the Pacific Flyway call the Northern Sacramento Valley their home during the winter months, and all of us here at the Snow Goose Festival invite you to join us for an action-packed 4-days celebrating this annual phenomenon!

We have put together a BIG list of more than 70 field trips and workshops that cover six counties, reaching out into the rice fields, wildlife refuges and river walks where mild winter weather, abundant food and lots of water draw our avian visitors.

In addition to numerous bird-watching field trips, you might choose to join an owl radio-tracking team on the local ecological reserve, or try birding by ear, a snowshoe hike in Lassen Park, a BIG day of birding, or hike the scenic Sutter Buttes in search of lofty views and resident wildlife.
Our workshops offer something for everyone… learn nature photography, sketching in nature, bird carving, how to record nature sounds, designing a garden for wildlife, and much more. Free nature activities are offered for children, as well as armchair adventures for the less hardy.
