SUMMARY:Monterey Bay\, Elkhorn Slough & Moss Landing
DESCRIPTION:Elkhorn Slough\, situated in the middle of Monterey Bay at Moss Landing\, has one of the greatest concentrations of marine mammals (Sea otters and Sea Lions) and birdlife anywhere in California. The Elkhorn River and coastline have a great variety of pelicans\, ducks\, shorebirds and terns\, plus raptors\, cormorants\, Oystercatchers\, turnstones\, grebes and occasionally owls. If you can find it in your fieldguide\, it’s likely here. On one memorable trip we were treated to a Sea Otter mother with a baby nestled on her chest\, not fifty feet away. We typically observe over fifty species of birds\, plus Sea otters and Sea lions\, while we explore several different inland and coastal sites. Bring (or buy at Moss Landing) lunch and drinks. Walking is at a casual pace\, about two miles. Excellent photo opportunities for birds\, sea mammals and scenery.
