Home > Calendar > Winter Bird Festival


Jan 18-21, 2008


Every January on the Martin Luther King Jr. holiday weekend (January 18-21 in 2008), the Morro Coast Audubon Society in collaboration with California State Parks, Central Coast Natural History Association, the city of Morro Bay, the Morro Bay Chamber of Commerce, and Friends of the Estuary, host the Winter Bird Festival. All-day and half-day tours will take participants to a wide variety of habitats, including deep water pelagic, oak woodland and riparian, wetland and estuary, and the unique grassland habitat of the Carrizo Plain. Workshops will cover a vast array of topics ranging from beginner birding classes to gull identification. Outstanding Evening Speakers will make presentations on Saturday and Sunday. A variety of vendors will be present with nature related artwork, books, field equipment and attire, and local merchant wares.

Morro Bay California is one of the few remaining estuaries on the Pacific flyway. Christmas Bird Counts on the bay have numbered above the 200 species mark, and the festival bird lists have totaled over 220 species for the weekend, making this area on the central California coast a prime birding destination.
