FARMINGTON — From artists to phone apps, the best place to learn about birds is right here in Davis County.

The Great Salt Lake Bird Festival, running May 16-19 at the Legacy Events Center and locations around the state, offers a variety of ways to learn all about our feathered friends. From workshops and birding tours to bird-related art, the festival has something to appeal to bird-lovers of all ages. 

“It’s so family-friendly,” said Neka Roundy, chair of the bird festival. “Some prefer exciting field trips that can go behind the gate, or a family workshop or to see a live bird show. I think we offer something that appeals to all levels of birders.”
