Birding

Words for a gathering of birds:
-- a murder of Crows---a bouquet of Pheasant--- A charm of Finches --
-- a kettle of Hawks---cooing Doves are a Dole---A parliament of Owls--
---- an ostentation of Peacocks---


Our seaside sanctuary has been judged to be among the most valuable water-bird habitats of the Coastal Wildlife Management Area.

As you explore the woods & paths through our old growth rain forest, you'll be delighted by the plethora of birds that frequent the property; numerous species of Shore bird are resident, some, seasonally, others, year round.

For example, Western Sandpiper congregate by the thousand, & it's heart soaring to catch the dazzling flash of their wings as they wheel in the sun, and mesmerizing to follow their dizzying dash to and fro along the shore as they search out that special morsel.

Rufous, & Calliope Hummingbirds, are much in evidence from early Spring, to October.

Pelagic birds* include the lovable Puffin, and the brown pelican; of course viewings Change, as to season, and the time of day, but there is always something to see , and the patient watcher is usually rewarded.
