The 2012 festival involved participants from 25 states from the east coast to the west coast, and from the deep south to the far north. Highlights of the five day event included sightings of 143 different bird species, with almost all participants noting at least one life bird and others ranging up to 27 life birds. Some of these life birds included the Baird's and LeConte sparrows and gray partridge. Participants voiced their enjoyment of the wonderful birding, wide-open spaces and beauty of North Dakota. They especially enjoyed seeing birds in their full breeding plummage and their mating rituals.
