The 2011 festival involved participants from 15 states and Great Britain. Highlights of the five day event included sightings of 145 different bird species, with almost all participants noting at least one life bird and some up to seven 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.
