Every Martin Luther King weekend over 500 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.
The 15th Annual Celebration of the Morro Bay Winter Bird Festival will be held January 14-17, 2011. To get an idea about what will happen in the 2011 festival, look at the 2010 brochure. The 2011 schedule will be on the website in late September. Over 110 individual events are featured, including pelagic cruises, boat rides and kayaking in the Bay, van trips throughout the county, as well as many informative workshops. We've added more of the popular field trips, developed 12 new events, and planned a special "Family Day" with a dozen field trips and hands-on workshops for children and their parents.
Registration on this website begins October 1 -- the registration deadline is January 4, 2011. Those of you who have attended our Festival previously know that the events fill up fast, so be sure to make your reservations early and come join us!
