About Feather Fest from their website…
“If you’re a serious or casual bird-watcher or nature photographer…..an experienced or new outdoor enthusiast…..or someone who wants some exercise, fresh air and sunshine and something different to do…..you’ll want to join us at FeatherFest. There’s no need to be shy – the majority of our guests are not birding or nature photography experts!
Thousands of birds take wing to our island each spring during an arduous northward migration across the Gulf from Central and South America. And hundreds of tourists and neighbors follow suit to see more than 200 species of brightly-colored birds strut their stuff around our hometown – a prime location along the Great Texas Coastal Birding Trail.
FeatherFest is a fun four days of excellent birding and nature photography field trips. Make plans to enjoy spring migration on Galveston Island at FeatherFest 2025– April 24– 27!”
For those of you who plan to attend, we will look forward to seeing your beautiful photography.
