Thanks everyone who came out to enjoy birds and support the park!

Thank you to everyone who attended the 2026 Headlands Birding Festival! It was a fun weekend with great birds and great people.

We would like to extend our thanks to our amazing volunteers, walk leaders, stationary guides, vendors, sponsors, and speakers. The festival couldn’t happen without these amazing individuals.

Keep an eye out on your email for the festival wrap up email. It will have details on how to get your eBird lists from the walks, bird stats, and much more!
