Oregon Shorebird Festival
The Oregon Shorebird Festival, one of the longest running bird festivals in Oregon. The festival is headquartered at the Oregon Institute of
Marine Biology in Charleston, Oregon. Activities include expertly
guided land based field trips to Bandon Marsh National Wildlife Refuge.
Go on guided tours to see seabirds such as Black-footed Albatross, Parasitic Jaeger, Fork-tailed Storm-Petrel, Sooty & Pink-footed Shearwater,
Pomarine Jaeger, Red-necked Phalarope, Cassin's Auklets, and more.
The Oregon Shorebird Festival usually attracts between 60 to 100 birders from all over the nation but primarily from the Pacific Northwest. The Festival
is small compared to the larger wildlife festivals that have premiered in the past ten years; this keeps the festival intimate so visitors are able to interact
more closely with field trip leaders, guest speakers and other festival attendees. So join them for days filled with shorebirds and evenings with
good conversation and great presentations.

Update: The 2010 Oregon Shorebird Festival will be held
on August 27-29, 2010.
