The Morro Bay Bird Festival will be celebrating our 28th year in January, 2025. We have enjoyed a long and successful history, attracting birding enthusiasts from around the country (and a smattering of internationals) who come to see the more than 200 bird species spotted during the festival. We are considered one of the top five bird festivals in the nation.

The 2025 Festival schedule is the most extensive ever - over 250 events led by 141 expert leaders, appealing to all birders, nature lovers, photographers and artists. Hard Core birders as well as Beginners will find activities suited for their skill levels. Intense Big Days, walks geared to a relaxed pace, in-depth master classes, Nature Journaling, and Habitat walks and a variety of presentations round out the program.

With over 250 events to pick from, setting up your 2025 schedule can seem overwhelming. The page tabs above provide information to assist you with this task, as discussed below. The left-hand panel provides event categories that highlight the compliment of events on each topic.
