In addition, each activity previously mentioned has its own associated fees. No registration or fee is required for the Free Nature Expo. Attendance at Thursday night’s social at the Riverpark Inn is included as a part of the registration fee.
My husband and I dropped by this festival, checked out the free Nature Expo, then listened to Steve Kaye talk about how to photograph hummingbirds. Fascinating talk from a true avid photographer who can spend hours and thousands of photos to catch a hummingbird in flight, or nodding its head. Festival goes on today and tomorrow in the cool Riverpark Inn. Lives birds or prey/desert turtle/gopher snake/gila monster at Fish & Game booth.
