Enjoy the rolling hills filled with wildflowers, medicinal forest species, and a variety of birds. This event welcomes birders of all levels of experience to come together and enhance their passion.

​The Birds in the Hills Festival features a variety of habitats, including reclaimed prairie, early successional forest, hemlock gorges, and mature hardwood uplands. This habitat allows for a diverse and exciting array of bird species, including Blackpoll Warbler, Common Yellowthroat, Yellow Warbler, Indigo Bunting, American Redstart, Scarlet Tanager, Orchard Oriole, Acadian Flycatcher, Black-billed Cuckoo, Ovenbird, and Wood Thrush.

Whether you are a seasoned birder enthusiast or are just beginning your life-long journey of birding, the Birds in the Hills Festival has something for you. We offer a variety of ticket options. In addition, tickets will also be available for purchase at the festival venue.
