Discover the beauty of San Elijo Lagoon: where fresh water and saltwater meet and mix, migratory and resident birds share a sanctuary, and many animals find a home.
This guided tour will inspire all to watch and listen for various birds that rest in – and fly across – the salt marsh and mudflats. No matter the season, you can enjoy, photograph, and identify a host of native plants. Our Nature Center Loop Trail is accessible, providing fun for all.
Sunday, Nov. 3 from 10:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m.

By late fall, our winter birds have arrived- shorebirds, ducks, songbirds, and birds of prey. The endearing, White-crowned Sparrows busily hunt seeds along the trail’s edge. The sharp, high-pitched “chck”s of Yellow-rumped Warblers filter through the foliage above us. We may spot a majestic Northern Harrier skimming low over the marsh, looking for mice. Wetter days may bring forth a surprising display of fanciful mushrooms. Clear, cooler days are perfect for exploring. Are you ready?
Weather permitting. Wildlife is unpredictable. There is no guarantee of what you will see.
Saturday, Nov. 16 from 9:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m.
Volunteer Restoration Event: Family Friendly, Ages 6+ (minors with guardians) – Accessible Trail – Registration Required; Location to be shared before the event
