Paid Events 2012

Wednesday, August 1st - Saturday, August 4th

Tickets for welcome event, keynote speaker and our raffle may be purchased without the festival registration fee at We Frame It and the registration desk.

In addition to the Welcome Reception and Keynote Speaker Southwest Wings will be offering 35 Field Trips throughout southeast Arizona. Our overnight trips to the Chiricahuas and Madera Canyon are exceptional opportunities to spend some quality time with nationally known bird guides birding these unique areas. Our day trips offer a wide range of opportunities for birding and natural history exploration. We even have the evenings covered with owl and bat excursions to see up to five species of owls and other night flying birds such as whippoorwills and lesser nighthawks.

This year we offer access to Fort Huachuca to foreign national vistors.
