Greetings bird lovers! This is the official home page for the annual Copper River Delta Shorebird Festival, held each year in beautiful Cordova, Alaska. The 2009 festival concluded with a good return of our flocks and some great weather. This year we celebrate our 20th annual festival which will take place May 6-9, 2010.
The 20th Annual Copper River Delta Shorebird Festival will continue to include environmental education as well as showing our visitors the beauty and grandeur of Prince William Sound. Our keynote Speaker is Nils Warnock, Ph.D., currently with Oiled Wildlife Care Network, Wildlife Health Center School of Veterinary Medicine, University of California, Davis. We are very pleased to welcome back to Cordova, Sandra Frost, USFS Conservation Education Specialist. The originator of our Festival, Sandy is now based out of Washington, DC but will forever live in our hearts at The Copper River Delta Shorebird Festival.
In early May, the tidal flats of the Copper River Delta shimmer with the activity of hundreds of thousands of shorebirds. As many as 5 million shorebirds rest and feed here during spring migration. The Copper River Delta Shorebird Festival provides the ideal opportunity for bird watchers to be part of this epic migration. Many activities, workshops and community events are offered throughout the festival. We invite you to join us in Cordova for the premier birding event of the new millenium.
