Morro Coast Audubon Society Presents
FIELD TRIP: King Tides Explained/Stop and Scope the Birds
WHERE: State Park Marina Boardwalk
DATE: Saturday, February 10, 2024
TIME: 8:30am - 11:30am
LEADERS: Faylla Chapman, MCAS Leaders
Trip is limited to 15 participants
DESCRIPTION: King Tides continue during February.
Join Faylla Chapman for the first part of this field trip, as she explains the ups and downs and in and outs of King Tides and the interaction of the Sun and Moon, and how it affects our local Bay. After the first part of the field trip, we will set up scopes at the back platform, and along the first part of the boardwalk. Leaders will help you identify our winter shorebirds and migrants, as well as the land birds occupying the coastal sage scrub habitat. Then during the rest of the trip, we will see what birds come in with the receding tide and take advantage of the scopes, then complete the Boardwalk Loop.
Bring your own binoculars and cameras. Dress for cool and windy conditions. The complete loop is a short walk of about one mile on a boardwalk and dirt path and is ADA accessible.
Restrooms are available in the parking lot beside Bayside Cafe and at the State Park Campgrounds. Rain cancels.
ADA Accessible: Yes
Experience Level: All Levels Welcome
