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.
The 2025 Shorebird Festival is taking flight! Our schedule is continuously evolving as we add more exciting activities. Whether you're a seasoned birder or a first-time visitor, there's something for everyone to enjoy. Stay tuned!
In-Person. Free and Open to All
Join the members of the Pioneer in the Cordova Center upper parking lot, adjacent to the Pioneer Igloo lodge to purchase whole pies, sweet or savory, and hand pies. Get there early, because these go fast and no sales will happen before the opening bell. Yum!

¨If there is something that I wish to leave behind, it is the traces of a deep love and respect for nature¨
Among wetlands, coastal scrub, and volcanoes, there is a particular community, a place where bird migration is celebrated, art supports land management, and curiosity is awakening. For many, the bird festival and the art exhibits provide the first approach to knowledge, the first contact with the conservation work done by Terra Peninsular, and an opportunity to live a comprehensive, collaborative, and memorable community experience.
