Every odd-numbered year in the Spring, the community showcases its
amazing birding and wildlife watching at the Wings & Wetlands
Weekend. Great Bend invites visitors for a "natural" weekend of
birding, education, networking, fabulous sunsets and fun! Bird
watchers of every experience level discover something wonderful when
the town welcomes birders to two of the hottest birding sites in the
world - Cheyenne Bottoms Wildlife Area and Quivira National Wildlife
Refuge. Both have been designated as Wetlands of International
Importance by the International Ramsar Committee.
