Godwit Days Fall Preview
For the eighth year, the Godwit Day Spring Migration Bird Festival is offering a Fall Preview. New this year are a free family birding trip, birding by kayak, and dragonflying. Join experienced leaders the weekend of October 5 and 6 on any of six small-group trips (maximum of 10 registrants, except the family birding trip allows 20) selected to cover the area’s best birding locations. Held at the end of the peak period for migrating birds, the Fall Preview is intended to give registrants a taste of the North Coast during a time of year with high potential for rare bird sightings. On Saturday, join an all-day trip to Bear River Ridge south of Ferndale, focusing on migrating birds of prey with Andrew Orahoske ($40); spend the morning not only searching out shorebirds along Humboldt Bay--starting at Klopp Lake--but also learning about their lives from Elizabeth Feucht and David Fix ($30); or go on an afternoon trip to Blue Lake with Sandra Hunt-von Arb to learn about dragonflies of the North Coast ($20). On Sunday, join Keith Slauson for a morning of chasing rare birds ($40); Alexa DeJoannis to bird by kayak (bring your own boat or rent one), launching under the Samoa Bridge ($20); or.Denise Seeger and Amaya Bechler for a free family birding trip—a relaxing 1-2 mile level walk--at the Humboldt Bay National Wildlife Refuge in Loleta.
