This beloved fall tradition will return in person for nature lovers throughout the Pacific Northwest with two days

The 2022 event will kick off Saturday with early-morning guided walks offered by the Pilchuck Audubon Society
followed by a keynote address by swan biologist Martha Jordan at 10am in the Edmonds Plaza Room. In her
special presentation Washington’s Swans and Snow Geese: Connections to land use, agriculture, and dairy

population dynamics of wintering waterfowl in Washington, as well as the farms and farmers themselves.

The Edmonds Library will host a special Bird Fest Family Storytime on Saturday, then families can head next

staffed by representatives from regional conservation organizations, artists, scientists, and select vendors will
be open all day Saturday, and guests can enjoy presentations on backyard birding, local birding hotspots, and
more in the Edmonds Plaza Room.

For folks wanting to get outside, Bird Fest offers lots of opportunities throughout the weekend including guided
nature walks at parks and viewing stations in and around Edmonds, field workshops on bird identification,
nature photography, and a Sunday boat cruise to Protection Island.

Located in picturesque Downtown Edmonds Bird Fest guests can enjoy a rich array of shops, galleries,
restaurants, cafes and bistros that cater to arts and festivals. Many acclaimed eateries in the center of town and
