SUMMARY:Puget Sound Bird Fest
DESCRIPTION:A celebration of birds and nature\, Puget Sound Bird Fest features two days of speakers\, guided walks\, field trips\, exhibits\, andeducational activities for all ages. Most Bird Fest activities are free and open to the public\, with some activities\nrequiring a small fee and/or pre-registration. \nThe Puget Sound Bird Fest was initially held in spring to celebrate International Migratory Bird Day. After\ngrowing for several years\, it was moved to fall to avoid competition with other birding festivals around the\nregion. Last year\, festival planners decided to move it back to spring to better coincide with the peak season for\nbird watching. \n“We’re really excited about moving Bird Fest to the spring\,” said Brian Zinke\, Executive Director of the Pilchuck\nAudubon Society\, who has partnered with the City to put on the event since it began. “Spring is a time of\nrejuvenation\, a time when we come out of the doldrums of the long Northwest winter\, and what better way to\ncelebrate that than by welcoming back our splendid migratory birds.” \nThis year’s event will kick off early Saturday morning\, June 1st with guided walks offered by the Pilchuck\nAudubon Society\, followed by a presentation by wildlife biologist Gregory Green at 10am in the Edmonds Plaza\nRoom. \nGreen’s presentation The Ecology of Hummingbirds from Ecuador to Washington will explore the unique\necology of hummingbirds and share the results of his research on the northward expansion of Anna’s\nhummingbirds over the past 75 years. Other presentations will follow throughout the day. \nAlso on Saturday\, families can enjoy a special Bird Fest Family Storytime at the Edmonds Library starting at\n10am\, then head next door to the Kids Corner in the Exhibits Hall in the Frances Anderson Center gym. Booths\nstaffed by representatives from regional conservation organizations\, artists\, scientists\, and select vendors will\nbe open until 4pm. Be sure to stop by the Pilchuck Audubon Society Photo Contest booth to vote for your\nfavorite.Additional field activities will be hosted on Sunday\, June 2nd\, including guided walks\, a boat cruise to Protection\nIsland\, a native plant sale\, and tours of the Edmonds Wildlife Habitat Native Plant Demonstration Garden by the\nEdmonds Stewards. \nBird Fest is located in beautiful downtown Edmonds where guests can enjoy a rich array of shops\, galleries\,\nrestaurants\, cafes and bistros that cater to arts and festivals. Many acclaimed eateries in the center of town and\nalong the beachfront are within easy walking distance of the Bird Fest venue.\nThe Bird Fest Planning Committee is hard at work planning the 2024 event and plans to post the full festival\nschedule by April 15th.
