At the Ridgefield National Wildlife Refuge.
Celebrate the changing of the seasons at the 13th Annual Birdfest and Bluegrass Festival at the Ridgefield National Wildlife Refuge on Saturday and Sunday, October 13-14, 2012.
The Ridgefield Wildlife Refuge will be free during the Festival, and the activities are varied and plentiful both days including music, crafts, storytelling, kayak tours and canoe tours, Audubon guided birdwalks, Kiwa Trail tour, the spectacular sandhill crane tours at dawn and dusk and even a chance to get to see areas of the reserve that are normally closed to the public.
“Birdfest is the perfect time for families to experience everything this great region offers — its diverse wildlife, scenic beauty and rich cultural heritage.” ~Katie Harrison, executive director of Friends of Ridgefield Wildlife Refuge
