Chequamegon Bay Birding and Nature Festival

Held during the peak of spring migration in late May, this weekend-long event offers unforgettable experiences for birders and nature enthusiasts of all ages and skill levels. Explore the region’s rich natural diversity through guided field trips, hands-on workshops, educational programs for both kids and adults, engaging exhibits, and inspiring guest speakers. Home to nearly 300 bird species and a variety of habitats, the Chequamegon Bay Area is a premier destination for birdwatching and wildlife viewing. Abundant public lands and breathtaking landscapes—including Apostle Islands National Lakeshore, Whittlesey Creek National Wildlife Refuge, Copper Falls State Park, and the Chequamegon-Nicolet National Forest—offer extraordinary opportunities to connect with nature.
