FeatherQuest Library Adventures: Let’s Go Birding!
Join FeatherQuest founder Mike Marshall for a guided, family-friendly bird walk hosted with the Provo City Library. Explore the wetlands of the Provo River Delta, where migrating shorebirds, waterfowl, raptors, and songbirds create one of Utah County’s best birding experiences. Whether it’s your first bird walk or your hundredth, you’ll leave with new birds and new skills.

What You'll Find Here

FeatherQuest events are simple by design: a place, a time, a handful of target birds, and the joy of noticing together—whether you're brand new or already keeping a life list.

Each outing is designed to be simple, relaxed, and engaging—helping you build confidence, notice more, and enjoy the outdoors in a new way.

Event Types
