Earlybird volunteers at Songbird Festival on May 27 had pancakes, sausage and coffee ready for bleary-eyed birders. Thus fortified, visitors to the 22nd annual event went off on tours of the banding lab, went on bird ID walks, built birdhouses, looked at displays and otherwise enjoyed a beautiful day in the boreal forest. According to Boreal Centre for Bird Conservation Executive Director Patti Campsall, “It was one of our most successful festivals. Great crowd, lovely weather and every banding lab tour saw a bird! Got some really nice feedback from visitors.”
