Grays Harbor Shorebird Festival @ Grays Harbor National Wildlife Refuge Office | Hoquiam Middle School
Apr 28 @ 7:00 am

Each spring, hundreds of thousands of shorebirds stop to rest and feed along the Washington Coast and in the Grays Harbor estuary during their migration northward. Coming from as far south as Argentina, these Arctic-bound shorebirds are among the world’s greatest migrants. Some birds travel over 15,000 miles round trip! The concentration of birds during spring migration offers people a great chance to view a number of shorebird species.

Pre-registration is recommended for fee events and must be postmarked by April 16, 2018.
