Each spring, hundreds of thousands of shorebirds stop to rest and feed along the Washington Coast and in the Grays Harbor estuary during their migration northward. Coming from as far south as Argentina, these Arctic-bound shorebirds are among the world's greatest migrants. The shorebird spectacle happens every year at Grays Harbor National Wildlife Refuge. People from around the world come to view this event of hemispheric importance. We encourage the public to visit www.shorebirdfestival.org for more information on how to view the migration responsibly.
