The Grays Harbor shorebird festival is in late April, in Washington near
the Ocean Shores area, they have a number of events and trips, including
mudflat meals, where kids can enjoy looking through microscope to see what
shorebirds eat. And there are helpers and guides with scopes to help view
shorebirds in the Grays Harbor area, their website has lots of information.

A couple of yeas ago, once we realized our son Cooper’s interest in birds
was not a passing fancy, we started taking family birding trips. These have
included long weekends to coincide with International Migratory Bird Day
and the birding events that go along with it. Two years ago, we went to the
event at Ladd Marsh and last year we went to the one in Leavenworth, WA.
This year, we were planning to go to the Harney County Migratory Bird
Festival (it doesn’t match up with IMBD, but that’s fine), but just
discovered that’s not an option. The current Malheur situation aside, the
vast majority of the events at that festival are only open to kids 10 and
up. Cooper will be 8 in March, and thus is eligible for so few of the
options there as to not be worth the trip.
Does anyone have recommendations for a weekend bird festival in April or
May where the majority of events/field trips are open to kids?
Thank you,
