Julia,
I would highly recommend attending the John Scharff Festival. It is
extremely well run and the field trips are excellent. On top of that, the
bird life is astounding. Having lead a few small field trips myself I
personally strive to reach the exemplary level that the leaders set for the
field trips when I attended. If you attend a lot of festivals, this one is
a "can't miss."
