Birding Tips
- 1
Check rocky shorelines and jetties at low tide for shorebirds.
- 2
Scan offshore waters with a spotting scope for seabirds and waterfowl.
- 3
Peak breeding season runs from late May through June for most songbirds.
- 4
Onshore winds can push pelagic species closer to shore, making post-storm days excellent for rarities.
- 5
Peak spring migration runs mid-May in this region — plan visits around this window for maximum species diversity.
