Four days on a prairie wild with wetlands and wavy, open meadows. Here is your chance to visit some of the world's most remote birding hotspots. Join your peers, bring your lists and be ready for four full days of guided tours, hands-on workshops, wonderful people, distinctive culture and wild country. Don't miss the next Pothole & Prairie Birding Festival: June 13-17, 2012 in Carrington, North Dakota!

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.
 
A block of rooms have been reserved at the Chieftain Conference Center (festival headquarters), 701-652-3131, as well as at the Carrington Inn & Suites, 701-652-3982. Blocks will be held until May 13, 2012.
