Our festival is held in April, and celebrates spring bird and wildlife migrations along the Pacific Flyway in Marin and Sonoma counties. Point Reyes National Seashore provides the main backdrop for our festival, where the Pacific Flyway, Pacific Ocean, and other influences provide an ideal location for birding and wildlife viewing. In fact, Point Reyes and the surrounding area has been named the National Audubon’s Society’s #1 birding hotspot for multiple years, where 54%+ of all North American bird species have been seen and recorded. 

Over the four day festival attendees can choose from over 40+ educational field outings and classroom-based events based in Marin and Sonoma counties, focused on birds, wildlife, plants and marine life + hiking, kayaking, art and field photography, and led by some of the Bay Area’s award-winning naturalists and birders. Since 2020 we have also hosted a virtual festival for those unable to travel, have accessibility issues, or just prefer to learn from home.
