Here are some of the topics that will be covered in this chapter. More text and images will eventually be added to this section. Thank you for your patience.

Sandy-beach events in July:

  • Shore birds are rare because most have migrated northward to nest in the Arctic and sub-Arctic. A few non-breeders may stay locally
  • The only small beach birds that can be seen at this time of year are snowy plovers, which nest on a few Central-Coast beaches.
