As the largest bay between San Francisco and Coos Bay, Humboldt Bay is an important stop for migratory shorebirds as they travel twice a year on the Pacific Flyway. Every year, almost a million birds from over 300 species flock to our waterways, deltas, and marshes. Established in 1996, Godwit Days aims to help showcase the beauty and splendor of our avian friends as they pass through the North Coast, as well as teaching the community about the importance of conservation and biodiversity
This week, I met with the Godwit Days Chair, Alex Stillman, to learn more about the festival.
The opening ceremony will be taking place on Friday, at the Arcata Community Center at 5. To learn more, buy tickets, or reserve a spot on one of almost 100 planned events through Sunday, please visit godwitdays.org
Thank you for listening and stay tuned for more episodes of North Coast Conversations as we explore more of what the North Coast has to offer.
