The sixth edition of the San Quintin Bay Bird Festival was possible thanks to 200 people. This year we launched a virtual and in-person schedule to celebrate migratory shorebirds that come to the bay every year. More than 35,000 migratory shorebirds rest and feed in this natural sanctuary that we protect every day.
The pillars of this edition were citizen science and community art. First, we inaugurated the festival with the birdwatching marathon, a fun competition that allowed participants to find and observe birds surrounded by nature.
And we ended with the second edition of the collective exhibition “Travesía: a una mirada al mundo natural de San Quintín” that brought together more than 135 local artists.
Thanks to all the people for contributing with their talent, energy and commitment and for making one more edition possible. Thank you for being part of the journey that connects us with birds and the natural beauty of Baja California.
See you in the next festival!
