Grays Harbor Shorebird Festival

Birders flock to the Grays Harbor and Westport area for one of the Pacific Flyway's great spectacles — the spring migration of hundreds of thousands of shorebirds. Join guided walks, talks, and viewing opportunities as the mudflats come alive with wings.

It's a must for nature lovers on the Washington coast. The Grays Harbor National Wildlife Refuge is a globally significant stopover for migrating birds, and the festival is the best time to witness the phenomenon. Combine it with beach walks and Westport's harbor charm for a rewarding coastal weekend.
