The Copper River Delta annual shorebird festival is arriving soon, and scheduled for May 5th-8th this year! You are invited to join us in witnessing the mass migration of Pacific shorebirds, raptors, waterfowl and songbirds. The birds are migrating north and will be filling Hartney Bay, Alaganik Slough, and the surrounding Chugach National Forest, feeding and resting as they head to their breeding grounds. There are several locations around town where the birds are most visible along the shore, and we have compiled a portable (and waterproof!) map of these areas, along with the distances between them to factor in when traveling by bike or foot. Included with the map is a basic identification guide of the most common shorebirds, a sketchbook for documenting your discoveries, a mini travel bottle of bicycle lubricant, a postcard to share your memories with friends, and an always handy snack! Binoculars, spotting scopes and cameras can make great additions for more precise identification. Come grab a Birds and Bikes kit from Cordova Gear and create your own private tour of Cordova's spectacular shorebird spectacle!
