June 3-7, 2009 - Potholes and Prairie Birding Festival
"The 2009 Potholes and Prairie Birding Festival was held in Jamestown, North Dakota, June 3rd through the 7th. For more information, go to www.birdingdrives.com
Four days on a prairie wild with wetlands and wavy, open meadows. This was an opportunity to visit some of the world's most remote birding hotspots. There were four full days of guided tours, hands-on workshops, wonderful people, distinctive culture and wild country.
The photos below are from the 2007 and 2008 Potholes and Prairie Festival.

The loudest and earliest singer was the western kingbird. He started at about 4am.

The birds around the property sure appreciated the business. This is a brown thrasher nest tucked into some honeysuckle right outside the window of the assembly room.
