Horicon Marsh Bird Festival

Press release: Horicon Marsh Bird Club invites birders of all skill levels – as well as anyone who enjoys the great outdoors – to the 24th Annual Horicon Marsh Bird Festival (May 7-9, 2021). This weekend-long event provides family-friendly activities and educational experiences designed to showcase Horicon Marsh’s role as an important habitat for birds and wildlife.

Highlights of this year’s Bird Festival include a virtual keynote speech from the National Eagle Center, LIVE birds of prey, smaller more intimate guided tours, NEW trips to Mud Lake, Waupun Boardwalk and the Marsh Haven Trails.

See our schedule of events.

Due to the limited number of trips this year we are asking for a LIMIT OF 3 TRIPS per person to ensure an equal opportunity among participants.  Thank you for respecting this and if there are still open spots the week before the festival, we will open trips up to an unlimited number.

Please note that the Horicon Marsh Boat Tours is closed and will not be offering tours at this time.

We will be following COVID-19 guidelines for the duration of the festival.  Please respect any mask requirements at indoor locations put in place by our partners.  We will follow physical distancing (turkey vulture wingspan) and sanitation guidance.  Safety is our highest priority.
