There’s going to be a shorebird festival in Shelburne County from August 26-28. This is the first year for this event, and it will include a shorebird ID workshop, field trips, a photography contest as well as an opportunity to take in other activities happening in Shelburne that weekend. The festival schedule and registration information are available at http://www.discovershelburnecounty.com/shorebirdfest.html.
It will be a great chance to get out on some of our beautiful beaches and learn about the shorebirds that stop here during migration. Other groups are taking part: Bird Studies Canada, Nova Scotia Nature Trust, Ecology Action Centre, and Parks Canada will all have people and displays at the Saturday night lobster dinner.
