The Spring Wings Festival includes three days of guided bird-watching tours, educational workshops, craft activities, food and family fun. Bird watchers of all levels can view some of the 280 bird species known to frequent the Lahontan Valley, including Black-necked Stilts, Long-billed Dowitchers and the American Avocet. The festival is held in conjunction with International Migratory Bird Day, a U.S. Fish and Wildlife-recognized celebration of conservation and bird migration. All Spring Wings events begin at Oats Park on West Park Street in downtown Fallon.
