Harney County Migratory Bird Festival

Spend an amazing weekend witnessing the spectacular spring migration in the Harney Basin of Southeast Oregon. View thousands of migratory birds as they rest and feed in the wide-open spaces of Oregon’s high desert. From waterfowl to shorebirds, cranes to raptors, wading birds to songbirds, you’ll see them all! The festival offers non-stop birding activities as well as historical and cultural information sure to entertain you and your family. Whether you’re a beginner or a life-long wildlife enthusiast, the festival has something for everyone. Don’t miss this extraordinary weekend.

Guided tours, self-guided tours, van tours, and other activities fill the weekend.  You will have the opportunity to explore the region however you wish:  walking, bicycling, driving, or riding.

Malheur National Wildlife Region is, of course, the jewel for birders in the county, but fields, wetlands, and other sites in the Burns area boast excellent birding, too.
