Morro Bay Art Association invites you to join us for our 8th annual “For the Birds” exhibit. This exhibit is held in conjunction with the Morro Bay Annual Bird Festival, a yearly event promoting an understanding and appreciation of birds and other wildlife, and an awareness of environmental and conservation issues of the Central Coast. Birders from all over the United States come together to experience our wonderful and diversified ecosystem on the West Coast of California. Artists have been asked to share their artistic talents with the many visitors attending the Festival through art that celebrates the varieties of birds and other wildlife, and their habitats, in our area.

Located on the Pacific Flyway, Morro Bay is a globally Important Bird Area and a designated State and National Estuary.  Morro Coast Audubon Society ranks in the top five for the yearly Audubon Christmas Bird Count.  In most years, over 200 different bird species are spotted during the annual count.
