Tofino Shorebird Festival

Date: 
Sat, 2012-05-05 (All day) - Wed, 2012-05-09 (All day)

May 2012 - Check back for dates

Every year from late April through May, flocks of sandpipers, plovers, whimbrels, and many other shorebirds pass through the Tofino area. The combination of expansive mudflats and long sandy beaches create an ideal habitat for these migratory shorebirds. Thousands of shorebirds stop here stop to feed and rest - some for just three days - as they make their impressive journey from South and Central America northward to their Arctic breeding grounds. The Tofino Shorebird Festival is a weekend of walks, talks, guided birding and more.
