This weekend was the annual Shorebird Birding Festival at Grays Harbor on the Washington coast with many birding field trips, lectures, art displays and thousands of shorebirds migrating to their breeding grounds Canada and Alaska. many birders are attracted to this wonderful opportunity to see so many species of shorebirds and in great numbers. The birds migration back in the summer is spread out over a longer period of weeks so lacks the concentration of birds for viewing. The Long Beach penn. a little further south was great too with very few people on the northern end and clouds of birds moving along this long long sandy stretch of oceanside.. If you have never to this shorebird festival put it on your schedule for next year. Your can contact the Grays Harbor Shorebird Festival at shorebirdfestival.com
