The Morro Bay Winter Bird Festival is an annual eco-tourism event that gathers together over 450 birders in Morro Bay, California, on Martin Luther King weekend. Bird enthusiasts are able to see, photograph, and learn more about the over 200 species and thousands of birds native to the beautiful Central Coast beaches and parks.
Birding takes place on half-day field trips and all-day tours via boat rides, kayaks, and van trips throughout San Luis Obispo County, to visit a variety of habitats including deep water pelagic, oak woodland and riparian, wetland and estuary, and the unique grassland habitat of the Carrizo Plain.Informative workshops introduce newbies to the art of birding, while veterans of bird observation can delve into very specific bird topics on everything from feathers to gull identification.
The festival caters to avid bird watchers but welcomes families and beginners, identifying programs appropriate for every level of birding. Vendors and local merchants will be on hand with nature-related books, equipment, gear, and artwork.
