	Westport Ocean Beaches	xx	xx
HABITAT:	Municipal and state ocean beach, rock shoreline, and shore-pine woods.
BIRDING:	Common Terns migrate through spring and fall. Brown Pelicans arrive in July. At dawn Rhinoceros Auklets may fly in and out of Half-Moon Bay. Fall-winter winds may blow Black-legged Kittiwakes into port. Fall-spring find Brant, Double-crested and Pelagic Cormorants; Common, Pacific, and Red-throated Loons; Red-necked, Horned, and Western Grebes; and Surf, White-winged, and Black Scoters – and occasional Long-tailed Ducks, Glaucous Gulls, and Barrow’s Goldeneyes. In winter look for Black Turnstones, Rock Sandpipers, and Surfbirds on rock jetties, Harlequin Ducks in water by jetties, and Common Murres, Pigeon Guillemots, and Marbled Murrelets further out.
VIEWING:	Use scope from Westport Marina Observation Platform. Bonus: possible seals, sea lions and gray whales. Walk south to tower to 3-mile paved ADA Dune Trail to Half-Moon Bay, Westhaven State Park, and Westport Light State Park. Birding is best in first 2 miles.
