With our better weather dates in early May, we coincide with International Migratory Bird Day (IMBD), held annually on the second Saturday of May throughout North, Central, and South America. This year's IMBD focuses on the amazing thousands-of-miles-long bird migrations that occur between cooperating countries. The IMBD 2010 theme celebrates "The Power of Partnerships" in protecting and conserving species and habitat. Bird watchers are guaranteed a sampling from our county bird list of 421 species-our seventh annual Aleutian Goose Festival bird list recorded 184 species.

When attending our festival plan to discover the rugged beauty of California's most northwest corner, Crescent City and Del Norte County's wild redwood coast. Delight in this remote island of nature, which has a feeling of being suspended "outside of time" - for this is a place where rivers still run free, where wild salmon still spawn, and where endangered species recover, rather than disappear.

And then discover how the complexity and diversity of species goes beyond birds. Explore why our Klamath-Siskiyou region is called "the Galapagos of North America". Begin to experience the botanical variety that is almost unparalleled around the globe. Learn about the indigenous peoples of this region who still live on or near their original tribal lands.
