Spread Your Wings to California's Bird Fests

By Eshwarya Patel

Birds, small animals, butterflies, flowers and trees; does this sound like a good time to you? Well, California has a great variety of Nature Festivals to attend; all you need to do is pick your area. Every month of the year offers some kind of birding event for those who like to bird watch. In January, you can watch the ducks, geese and other water foul migrate annually. February brings you the San Diego Bird Festival including trips, classes and social events to attend. These are sponsored by the San Diego Audubon Society. Late March and early April, you can attend the Aleutian Goose Festival in Crescent City.

There are guided bird tours, lagoon, river and ocean trips, and the viewing of more than one hundred and seventy bird species. In Weldon, fly over to attend the Kern Valley Bioregions Festival which boasts to be one of the West's premier Spring Migration regions. You can visit the Giant Sequoia National Monument, South Fork Kern River Globally Important Bird Area, Butterbredt Spring Nationally Important Bird Area, and Sequoia National Forest Globally Important Bird Area. Take a Walk on the Wild Side in Freeport during the month of May at the Stone Lakes National Wildlife Refuge and Beach Lake Preserve. And finally, in December, attend the Christmas Bird Count all over the state. Santa Barbara had the most species, counting in at two hundred and twenty four different species of birds. Bird watching can be fun for everyone, no matter the season!
