Olympic BirdFest 2027

Registration opens January 2027

Olympic BirdFest takes place each April, timed perfectly to capture the overlap of wintering birds and spring migration. Species such as Harlequin and Long-tailed Ducks, seabirds, and winter songbirds are still present, while spring arrivals like Rufous Hummingbirds return from Mexico alongside the blooming red-flowering currants.

This festival is one of the River Center’s largest annual fundraiser. The money is used to support educational programs for all ages throughout the year. Please consider making a gift to the River Center today.
