The following is a press release:

Onondaga Audubon invites the public to Derby Hill Bird Observatory on the eastern shore of Lake Ontario in Oswego County on Saturday, May 11, for its annual Bird Festival.

Live hawks, bird walks, nature activities, and kids' face painting have been scheduled throughout the day. Westy's Birds of Prey show will exhibit and talk about the fascinating world of raptors.

A silent auction will offer bird and non-bird items, and there will be vendors with wildlife photography, native plants, artwork, and hand-crafted jewelry for sale.

In addition, the popular Chomppers Smokin’ Barbeque will be on hand with their tantalizing fare.

And, of course, the star performers--eagles, hawks, vultures, and other wild birds--will be gracing the skies overhead.

For a complete schdule of events and directions of Derby Hill , visit the Onondaga Audubon website.

Admission and parking are free.
