Puget Sound Bird Fest in Edmonds
September 11-13, 2009

The spotlight will be on birds once again at PUGET SOUND BIRD FEST in Edmonds, Friday-Sunday, September 11-13.! This year's festival will feature many of the same activities as in past years, as well as some new opportunities to learn about and observe birds at home in their habitats.

The weekend event starts Friday evening with an opening reception and keynote speaker in the Edmonds Plaza Room above the library. Exhibits, hands-on demonstrations, and children's activities will take place in the Plaza Room Saturday. A variety of lectures and presentations will be on Saturday's schedule in the Frances Anderson Center next door. There will be guided walks and field trips on Saturday and Sunday, including a Puget Sound Birding Cruise Saturday morning and a bus trip to Monroe with boxed dinner included Saturday evening to see thousands of Vaux's Swifts. The featured activity on Sunday will be the self-guided backyard wildlife habitat tours. So, mark your calendar to be in Edmonds September 11-13, 2009 to celebrate birds and nature!
