The 24th Annual Kachemak Bay Shorebird Festival starts Thursday, May 12. Get out your binoculars and get ready to watch a pulse of birds — like these Western sandpipers and dunlins that flew by Mud Bay in May 2015 — and tourists who traveled from afar to view Homer’s notable bird populations.-Homer News file photo
