Join Friends of the Inyo for the Owens Lake Bird Festival on Owens Lake where water, vast open sky, the high rise of the Sierra Nevada, thousands of migratory birds, and the story of human presence come together to define the geography of a special place. Join local experts on birding and natural history outings on and around Owens Lake. Keynote Speakers Tom and Jo Heindel explore “The Amazing Shorebirds of Owens Lake” at the Saturday evening dinner reception. Celebrate the return of thousands of migratory birds to a rejuvenated landscape at Owens Lake, a National Audubon Society designated Important Bird Area.
