The Environmental Action Committee of West Marin (EAC) will be hosting the 14th Annual Point Reyes Birding & Nature Festival on April 21st-23rd, 2023.

This annual fundraising event celebrates spring bird and wildlife migrations along the Pacific Flyway mostly in Marin and Sonoma counties with proceeds benefiting our nonprofit mission to protect and sustain the unique lands, waters, and biodiversity of West Marin (coastal Marin County). There is something for everyone in your brood, with trips and activities for various ages and experience levels.

Point Reyes National Seashore provides the main backdrop for our festival, where the Pacific Flyway, Pacific Ocean, and other influences provide an ideal location for birding and wildlife viewing. In fact, Point Reyes and the surrounding area have been named the National Audubon Society’s #1 birding hotspot for multiple years, where 54%+ of all North American bird species have been seen and recorded. in addition, during April, California’s Mediterranean climate allows us to see wintering and breeding birds overlapping along this coastal hotspot. However, birds are not the only thing you’ll see. Whether you are at a field event discovering whales, elk, or wildflowers, your time in between may have you come across a plethora of wildlife including deer, fox, skunk, raccoons, otters, river otters, and more! Be sure to keep an eye out, and drive slowly!
