One of the premier West Coast birding events, this weekend Godwit Days Birding Festival will include virtual and in-person events April 15 thru 17. Held in Arcata along the northern California coast, participants can enjoy birding among the redwoods, viewing the throngs of shorebirds, waterfowl, and waterbirds at Arcata Marsh, and exploring the birdlife along nearby wild river valleys and rocky Pacific coastlines. Sign up for the variety of field trips led by experienced local guides, plus attend the lectures, workshops, and the keynote speaker presentations – and see the list of online Zoom participation options.
