Every spring, billions of birds move across North America — and for a brief moment, one place becomes the center of it all.
In this episode of Naturally Scott, Scott sits down with Kimberly Kaufman, Executive Director of the Black Swamp Bird Observatory, to explore The Biggest Week in American Birding — one of the most important and accessible birding events in the world.
Held along the shores of Lake Erie in northwest Ohio, this 10-day festival brings together tens of thousands of birders to experience peak spring migration at places like the legendary Magee Marsh.
In this focused conversation, they explore:
🐦 Why northwest Ohio is a global hotspot for migration
🌎 How a festival grew from zero to 80,000+ visitors
🤝 The unique culture of birding — welcoming, generous, and shared
🌿 How bird tourism directly supports conservation
✨ Why moments at the Biggest Week become lifelong memories
This is a conversation about more than a festival — it’s about community, conservation, and what happens when people come together around something they love.
