Monterey Bay Birding Festival September 24, 2009

Whether you're a beginner or an experienced birder or visiting from afar, you’ll discover new places and new birds, and have the opportunity to revisit favorite spots in the Pajaro Valley, heart of the Monterey Bay’s world-renown birding area, and along the spectacular Central Coast of California.
The Pajaro Valley and the Monterey Bay region are home to an incredible diversity of habitats – redwood forests, rocky shorelines, sandy beaches with Snowy Plovers, the world-class Elkhorn Slough National Estuary, oak forests and surrounding grasslands at Pinnacles National Monument, the stunning Big Sur coastline with California Condors, and, of course, pelagic trips on Monterey Bay – and bird species. Over 600 species of birds have been found in California, and the vast majority can be seen in our area.
