This is a wonderful chance to get up close and personal with wild birds and animals and the people who love them. There are walks, exhibits, artists, films, soundscapes. They have really good organic, vegetarian food as well as the usual non-veggie fare. For walks bring warm clothes, good boots and binoculars/cameras. This festival takes place on the migratory path for many of the wild birds species coming through the Bay Area at this time of year. There is also a chapel with antique Tiffany glass panels which is open during the festival.

Laura Sutta is a local photographer who’s work I love. She has wonderful photos of Oakland and Lake Merritt, the Estuary and the bird life. Her photos of baby canada geese are heart melting.
