North Coast Conversations: Godwit Days 2026

Welcome to North Coast Conversations on KHSU.

It’s springtime again and for birdwatchers that means its time for the Godwit Days Spring Migration Bird Festival – which has been offering field trips, lectures, and workshops for local and traveling bird-enthusiasts for the past 30 years. This week we met with local birder Rob Fowler, who leads many of the tours for Godwit Days, to learn more about birding on the North Coast and what you can expect from the 2026 festival and field trips .

That was Rob Fowler, local birding expert, talking about Godwit Days, which is happening Thursday, Apr. 16 through Sunday, Apr. 19. Events will happen across our area throughout the week, with the main festivities taking place at the Arcata Community Center on Saturday and Sunday Apr.18 and 19. You can find more information or register at godwitdays.org.

Happy birdwatching and thanks for listening!
