We are in the Migratory Pacific Flyway Zone

It is one of the major migratory bird routes in North America, stretching from Alaska down the west coast of the Americas to Patagonia. It’s a critical path for millions of birds each year.

The mix of coastal bluffs, beaches, estuaries, creeks, and forested areas supports an impressive variety of migratory birds.

Our Birds, Pollinators, Wildlife

Our Local Wildlife in town and in our Parks

If you look and listen closely, patiently, and quietly you can see them. Sometimes you just need to look up in the median trees in town, take a hike in the hills, or watch carefully on the Burnham strip or the open meadows within town or the Park. You will see them. Examples: Monarchs, humming birds, Great Horned Owls, wood peckers, Yellow Warblers, swallows, thrushes, song birds, Canda Geese, Great Blue Herons, Egrets, Red Tailed Hawks, falcons, Golden Eagles, Ospreys, coyotes, bob cats, red and grey foxes, and more rarely, mountain lions. They were here before us. We are encroaching on them. Give them space and respect.
