Street. George - The seventh annual St. George Winter Bird Festival will conclude on Sunday with trips to Zion National Park and the Parowan Gap area is designed to appeal a wide range of birders.

At the festival for four days and involved field visits to monitor and determine the Southern Utah bird species, as well as lectures on everything from equipment to control bird flu, how they think and habitats where they live.

"This visit is Toquerville, Grafton and Springdale," said Christine Crandall, who moved to St. George, six weeks before the state of Colorado, and is awaiting for an excursion to leave Saturday morning from Tonaquint Park. "I'm just beginning to learn the truth of this region and this is a great way."

Dawn Eide Albrecht, one of the volunteers at the festival, and some field trips, such as a picnic Zion, requires pre-registration, the limited number of participants due to special sites.

"All pre-registered field trips ... have reached the maximum for at least two or three weeks," she said.

Kurt said Patrice Marx made for a six-hour drive from Riverside, California, after studying the online festival.

"It's fun to go somewhere different to go bird," said her husband, Patrice equipment unloaded from the car to his field trip photography.
