Welcome to "Wings over the Rockies"
 May 3 to 9, 2010.
Renew your spirit of wonder over our natural heritage -
come home to one of the longest systems of continuous wetlands in North
America. Over 265 species of birds have been recorded in a 150 km
stretch of the Columbia Valley Wetlands from Canal Flats to
Spillimacheen. Flanked by grasslands, forest, alpine meadows and rocky
crags this "Serengeti of the North" supports abundant wildlife and
provides spectacular vistas for the eleventh
annual Wings Over the Rockies Bird Festival.
Choose from over 50, high
quality, creative and educational events to enjoy with your family.
Discover the world of birds through activities such as guided nature
walks, Columbia River floats, voyageur canoe trips, horseback riding in
the grasslands, art exhibits, evening presentations, workshops,
children's festival, Wings gala banquet, birdathon and much more!
Walk in the wilderness with experts to see osprey,
eagles and lots of waterfowl. Float on the river or visit the national
and provincial parks within a World Heritage Site, or perhaps soak in
local hot springs, while participating in British
Columbia's longest bird festival.
