Observers recorded 138,155 birds comprised of 93 species using the mudflats and wetlands along the Shoreline. The most common waterfowl were scaup (with significantly more Greater Scaup than Lesser Scaup). The most common shorebirds were small sandpipers (Western and Least Sandpipers) and Willets. Western Gulls were the most common gull species. Data indicate that birds use different parts of the Shoreline during different tides and seasons, particularly waterfowl and shorebirds, indicating a need to protect and restore a diverse mosaic of habitats to be used by birds and other wildlife.
