Godwit Days Spring Migration Bird Festival

Join us for our annual birding and nature festival at the peak of spring migration! Nestled amongst the coastal redwoods of northwestern California and beyond, we will offer over 70 field trips and workshops to choose from led by expert guides. We will host a welcome reception, evening lectures, a banquet, and a silent auction. The main hall will be filled with informational booths, artists, optics, and more to visit. Fun family and youth events will round out this educational 4-day event.
