Clothing:  
    Rain Gear We are trying to schedule perfect weather, but just in case
 
    Hat/Cap Always a must
 
    Jacket It's best to bring several light jackets that you can "layer" instead of one heavy jacket
    Foot Gear Water proof is best, but if you don't have them bring an extra pair to change into. Most of the birding areas at the Festival have improved trails
 
    Misc Sunglasses
Sunscreen
 
Binoculars The most common or popular size is 7x25. But any size will help you id birds
 
Camera: Bring a camera - any camera!!
Some the best photos from last were taken with a one time use camera picked up on the way to the Festival. Don't take a chance on missing that once in a lifetime photo.
 
Food:  
    Meals There are several great places to have breakfast - lunch - dinner in the area.
 
    Snacks You might bring snacks or energy bars and water.
 
    Water Regardless of the weather do yourself a favor and bring water.
 
Bird Book  
    Journal/List You don't need anything fancy. Just something you can record the birds you saw. It can be done with as simple as a pocket sized notepad or you can buy a birding log book at the Festival from SnowGoose Bookstore.
    Bird Id Book There are several great books that will help you not only identify but also help you find birds.
