Limantour Beach and Abbotts Lagoon are two of the most productive wetlands at Point Reyes National Seashore. On this four-mile hike we will visit the site that has the greatest variety of shorebirds which we will enjoy. This is an especially good time to observe and learn the differences between phalaropes and plovers, sanderlings and sandpipers. Breeding species like Snowy Plover are joined by migrant godwits, dowitchers and a variety of small sandpipers. Elegant Terns, Surf Scoters and other ducks, raptors and additional birds will be seen on this special hike.
