Guided birding tours and prairie wildflower walks, family events, and fabulous food will be featured at the 3rd Annual Burke County Birding Festival. The Festival is held on Lostwood National Wildlife Refuge, 16 miles south of Bowbells on ND State Hwy 8. Lostwood NWR is a Globally Important Bird Area providing essential habitat for bird species including Sprague’s pipit, Baird’s sparrow, and the piping plover. The newly renovated observation tower allows visitors a “bird’s eye” view of the prairie atop a 50’ viewing platform.
