We invite you to join the mass migration of Pacific shorebirds, raptors, waterfowl and songbirds. Their shoreside respite is framed against the pristine backdrop of coastal glaciers and mountains, the breathtaking vista that we call home. Come armed with your binoculars, spotting scopes, cameras, sketch books and pencils and leave with a heart full of memories.
Below is the initial Schedule for the 2024 Shorebird Festival to help with your travel plans. We are recommending festival travelers fly in on May 2nd and leave on May 6th. If festival goers would like to stay an extra couple of days to view peak migration time we suggest an itinerary of May 2nd-8th to enjoy the full scope of the migration. Keep an eye out for the official schedule with detailed events to be posted as we get closer to the festival.

Bring your beginning birders so they can get their feet wet in the wild world of birding. Open to kids of all ages and their caregivers.
Meet at the Cordova Center for coffee and tea, then take a casual walk to birding hotspots near downtown. Bring your binoculars or a camera to practice your photography skills, a sketchpad to document it through art, or just enjoy the view.
