Welcome to "Wings over the Rockies"
 May
5th to 11th, 2008.
Renew your spirit of wonder over our natural heritage - come home to
one of the longest systems of continuous wetlands in North America. Over
265 species of birds have been recorded in a 150 km stretch of the
Columbia Valley Wetlands from Canal Flats to Spillimacheen. Flanked by
grasslands, forest, alpine meadows and rocky crags this "Serengeti of the
North" supports abundant wildlife and provides spectacular vistas for the
eleventh annual Wings Over the Rockies Bird Festival.
Choose from over 50, high quality, creative and educational events to
enjoy with your family. Discover the world of birds through activities
such as guided nature walks, Columbia River floats, voyageur canoe trips,
horseback riding in the grasslands, art exhibits, evening presentations,
workshops, children's festival, Wings gala banquet, birdathon
and much more!
Walk in the wilderness with experts to see osprey, eagles and lots of
waterfowl. Float on the river or visit the national and provincial parks
within a World Heritage Site, or perhaps soak in local hot springs, while
participating in British Columbia's longest bird festival.
