Sequim, Washington
Come and enjoy Olympic BirdFest 2007: From guided birding

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.
The Olympic BirdFest is a partnership of the Olympic
Peninsula Audubon Society, Dungeness River Audubon Center
and Jamestown S'Klallam Tribe.
