Spring Migration Celebration
Celebrating the coming of spring at our Spring Migration Celebration! Join the Friends of Creamer’s Field, the Alaska Department of Fish and Game, the Arctic Audubon Society, the Alaska Songbird Institute, and more local outdoor organizations at Creamer’s Field! This event is FREE to the public and will bring fun for all ages! Activities include meeting local outdoor organizations, nature walks, treats, wildlife viewing, and crafts for kids and families. A visit during late April ensures great viewing opportunities for Trumpeter Swans, Canada Geese, Greater White-fronted Geese, and various species of ducks.
Please dress for the weather and wear boots!
In preparation for our Spring Migration Celebration, join us on Friday, April 25 at 6:00 pm for a screening of the film Return of the Trumpeters at the Morris Thompson Cultural & Visitors Center auditorium (101 Dunkel St, Fairbanks, Alaska). Admission is free.
Experience one of the greatest conservation success stories of our time. The majestic Trumpeter Swan, North America’s largest waterfowl, was once hunted to the brink of extinction. Thanks to the remarkable efforts of a new generation, this iconic species is making a comeback.
The dynamic change of seasons brings forth the appearance of not only migratory species back to Interior Alaska, but the awakening of overwintering life as the cold bonds of winter melt away. This dramatic moment welcomes visitors of all ages and interests to this special refuge; all appreciating that the promise of spring has come.
