Title
Godwit Days : Three-day migration festival in the redwoods of Humboldt County, North Coast, California
Description
Godwit Days, the three-day Spring migration bird festival celebrating the Marbled Godwit and all the birds of the coastal redwoods, bays, marshes, and mudflats of California's Redwood Coast. Choose from nearly 100 field trips, lectures, workshops, and boat excursions. Pre- and post-festival trips are available for an extended stay and opportunity to explore all the birds of the North Coast and Klamath Bioregion.
Join us at the Opening Reception and Godwit Days Wildlife and Landscape Arts Exhibition at the Arcata Community Center, where you can meet celebrated wildlife and nature artists, talk to our expert field trip leaders, and hear our keynote speaker. Perhaps you would like to make an inquiry about a particular species? Included with your registration are two days of compelling videos, beginning birding seminars, and breath-taking live birds of prey to see. View the beautiful selection of art by our top North Coast artists. Browse the Bird Fair and see the products and information you can't be without -- and don't forget to purchase a Godwit Days shirt or cap as a remembrance.
The City of Arcata has been exceptional in its efforts to establish and promote a comfortable environment for birders of all skill levels. From 1999 to 2004 the festival was operated by Arcata MainStreet. In 2004, a nonprofit organization was formed to run the festival. The City of Arcata continues to support the festival and the Birdbox (707-822-LOON), a clearinghouse for rare bird sightings in the area, in partnership with the Redwood Region Audubon Society.
