Where is the best birding?
There are three main areas for good birding by the average visitor: the shore, the park road, and Bird Island Basin. Anywhere along the seashore is excellent for spotting a large variety of shorebirds including the endangered Snowy Plover and Piping Plover. Driving the park road will often enable one to see raptors and birds often associated with grasslands. Bird Island Basin is an excellent spot for watching marsh and shorebirds as well as raptors. For more information on birds and birding go to the Nature and Science section of the park’s main website.
