Dawn Chorus | Small Arms Inspection Building

FREE EVENT

The dawn chorus is a breathtaking symphony of bird songs that unfolds in the early morning hours before sunrise – a truly magical experience. This annual event marks the arrival of spring and the return of migratory birds to their breeding grounds.

As the sun rises, birds of different species fill the air with their unique songs and rhythms. Some sing solo, while others join together in a harmonious chorus, creating a mesmerizing natural soundtrack. The dawn chorus is one of nature’s most awe-inspiring phenomena and an unforgettable experience.

This program is presented in partnership with Eagle Spirits of the Great Waters, who will offer a light Indigenous-inspired breakfast, lead a drum circle, and a smudging ceremony.

Join us for this special celebration of nature’s music!
