Come Celebrate the 11th Annual Morro Bay Winter Bird Festival
By Katy Budge
Come to where the birds are and join Morro Coast Audubon Society (MCAS) for our 11th Annual Morro Bay Winter Bird Festival, January 12-15, 2007. Located on California's scenic Central Coast, Morro Bay is an important stop on the Pacific Flyway and one of the country's pre-eminent birding spots. The area is recognized worldwide for its diversity of both resident and wintering birds, and at last year's festival, over 200 species of birds were identified!
The Morro Bay Winter Bird Festival is sponsored by MCAS and gives you the chance to join local and national birding experts on a variety of field trips and workshops. Field trip group sizes are limited to maximize spotting and identification opportunities. The Festival also offers workshops aimed at sharpening your birding skills, as well as evening programs with outstanding speakers.
For more information about the Festival, check out our new website at www.morrobaybirdfestival.org, or call (805) 772-4677. You can request that your name be added to the mailing list for our 2007 brochure, or register online. Both the brochure and online registration will be available in October 2006. The registration deadline is January 4, 2007 and early signups are encouraged as the most popular events fill up quickly. |
