Thank you to the nearly 500 birders who participated in the 2012 festival; the 120 Leaders, volunteers, and staff who did the work; and the sponsors and vendors who supported it. Collectively, we identified 217 bird species, and by all accounts had a great time doing it.

The 17th Annual Celebration of the Morro Bay Winter Bird Festival will be held January 18-21, 2013. We will be updating the information on this website over the summer and early fall. In the meantime, follow us on Facebook for occasional posts on the festival and birding in San Luis Obispo County. Registration for the 2013 festival will begin October 1, 2012. We'll let you know!
Every Martin Luther King weekend over 450 birders visit Morro Bay, California, a Globally Important Bird Area, to see, photograph, and learn more about birds. Morro Bay is located halfway between Los Angeles and San Francisco on the Pacific Flyway. The area offers pristine beaches, beautiful state parks, an excellent natural history museum, panoramic views of the Pacific Ocean and, best of all, thousands of birds. Over 200 species are usually sighted during the Festival weekend.
