Minnesota’s largest birding festival, Salt Lake Weekend, returns for its 47th annual event in 2025! Join 125 other bird enthusiasts on the morning of May 3rd at the Lac Qui Parle State Park Visitor Center for registration. We will then tour around the area in coach buses (including Salt Lake itself, of course) for the morning. After the guided birding tour aboard assigned buses in the morning, attendees will gather for lunch at the Marietta American Legion hall. After lunch, attendees will be encouraged to visit local businesses and engage in self-guided birding for the afternoon hours. We will then meet at 6 PM at the Madison VFW hall for the compilation dinner, where we will share our stories and bird sightings, tallying a composite species list for the day. You will be taken to another window to complete your registration. Registration will be opened on April 1st and will close on April 25th.
