We invite you to join the mass migration of Pacific shorebirds, raptors, waterfowl and songbirds.  Their shoreside respite is framed against the pristine backdrop of coastal glaciers and mountains, the breathtaking vista that we call home.  Come armed with your binoculars, spotting scopes, cameras, sketch books and pencils and leave with a heart full of memories.

Schedule

Below is the initial Schedule for the 2024 Shorebird Festival to help with your travel plans. We are recommending festival travelers fly in on May 2nd and leave on May 6th.

Nature Journaling: Shorebirds eat what? Mudflat Invertebrates

  • Hartney Bay Whitshed Rd Cordova, AK, 99574 United States (map)

Sunday, May 8, 2022, 10:30 AM – 12:00 PM 

Hartney Bay, meet at the end of the paved road. 

In-Person. Free and open to all. 

 

Curious about the rich mudflat food that draws millions of shorebirds to Cordova each year? Have you ever wanted to try Nature Journaling? 

Join PWSSC educators for a Nature Journaling gathering on at Hartney Bay! Novice and experienced nature journalers alike can come together and explore shorebird diets. There will be a nature journaling prompt to follow if you need inspiration or you can do your own thing. Come for a little or stay the whole time. No experience necessary. PWSSC will have basic supplies available, though you may want to bring something to sit on. 

 

This event is free and open to adults and children of all ages, but kiddos 8 and younger will need caregiver assistance. This event is part of a series of nature journaling events that PWSSC will be hosting throughout the summer. Help us grow the nature journaling community in Cordova!
