The Alameda shoreline, with miles of sandy white beaches and stunning views of the bay, is one of our local environmental treasures. During the early fall and winter it\u2019s also a magnet for hundreds of shorebirds — Dunlin, godwits, peeps, gulls, curlews, plover, Avocets and stilts, sometimes turnstones and Oystercatchers — totaling thousands of birds. During a morning walk we usually see 40 different shorebirds, egrets, grebes and ducks, sometimes in great numbers. Best of all, it\u2019s part of a relaxing morning of beautiful beaches, salt air and panoramic views of the bay. Too good to be true? Come see for yourself. Good opportunities for bird and marine photography.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
