Location: Clallam Bay County Park
Price: $500

Join our tour leaders for a unique, two and a half day birding experience to one of the most remote and wild birding areas of Washington State. We will explore the Makah Indian Nation’s best and most beautiful birding hot spots searching for migrating raptors, seabirds, and songbirds.
Our adventure begins at 10:00 AM Tuesday morning at Clallam Bay County Park in the town of Clallam Bay. There you will meet Bob Boekelheide to bird the park and beach. You will then continue on to Neah Bay with additional birding stops along the way.
The next two days will be spent birding at places such as Cape Flattery, Wa’atch Valley, Hobuck Beach, Bahokus Peak and Neah Bay itself looking for migrants and wintering birds.
Cost of the trip: The trip includes all meals from Tuesday lunch through Thursday lunch, Makah Tribal passes, entrance fee to the Makah Museum, and guides. All gratuities are included. Participants must book and pay for their own lodging.
Lodging Options: Because Neah Bay is extremely busy during fishing season, we have arranged with the Makah Tribe to set aside a block of cabins at the beautiful Hobuck Beach Resort for Tuesday and Wednesday nights. These rooms are guaranteed to BirdFest participants at a discounted rate until February 29, 2024 when they will be released for public use as well. After that date the discount still applies but your first choice for cabin style may not be available. To receive the discount CALL to select lodging of your choice as soon as possible. Their phone number is 360-645-2339 and mention Olympic Birdfest to receive the discount. Check out their website at www.hobuckbeachresort.com to see what type of lodging works for you!
