A number of festivals take place around the state that are worth checking out:
- December: Coeur d'Alene Eagle Watch (Coeur d'Alene)
- January: Bald Eagle Days (Boise)
- April: Dubois Grouse Days (Dubois)
- May: International Migratory Bird Day (Boise, Lewiston, Coeur d'Alene, and McCall)
A great way to get out and meet local birders is by joining a field trip offered by the Audubon Society. You don't have to be a member to enjoy one of their field trips!
