Grab your binoculars and come to the
Olympic Peninsula BirdFest
Friday April 4 to Sunday April 6, 2008 in Sequim, Washington.


The stage is set for the Olympic BirdFest: quiet bays and estuaries, beaches on the Strait of Juan de Fuca, an island bird sanctuary, a five-mile-long sand spit, eel grass beds, and the beautiful Dungeness River valley.

The "players" are ready for a Washington Bird Watching weekend: Marbled Murrelets, Rhinoceros Auklets, Harlequin Ducks, Black Oystercatchers, Peregrine Falcons, and Pygmy-Owls will be sporting their finest spring plumage for this celebration. We've created a bird watching vacation for beginners to experts, from leisurely strolls to active hikes. You can bird for a few hours, or all day … from the dawn chorus to the evening owl prowl. We will wake you with coffee, nourish you with locally grown organic food, and celebrate a traditional salmon bake.

Come and enjoy Olympic BirdFest 2008: From guided birding trips, boat tours, silent auction, salmon banquet, and many other events, Our festival has a full slate of extraordinary offerings awaiting you. A schedule for 2008 on the Festival Overview page lists all the available events.
