Oceanside Marine Nature Study Area Walk

Night Heron – Ken Thompson
Our walk on May 30th was at the Oceanside Marine Nature Study Area. It is a marshland that gives you opportunities for good looks at waders and shorebirds. Today was not disappointing. We got good looks at a bunch of them. One of the highlights is the close looks at the Night Herons.
They were very cooperative today and with the bright sunshine it was very enjoyable. The Yellow -crowned Night Herons were in close and gave good views. We had 28 species of birds, a nice walk in a nice place and everyone enjoyed it!

I love going to the beach because it is so beautiful and quiet beach with great views. I love walking along the water to the rocks and back-it’s a great workout. It’s fun looking for shells.
