Recent Sightings at the San Elijo Lagoon Ecological Reserve
The new, pale green fresh feathery foliage
of the coastal sagebrush dominates the trailsides at the moment, broadcasting the news
of its rebirth with heavy herbal scent wafting through the air. Still
around are many winter visitors, such as a colorful variety of ducks.
February also marks the beginning of courtship and nesting behavior
for some early breeding birds like hummingbirds, owls, hawks, egrets,
and herons. As February progresses, the first long distance migrants, like swallows,
appear.
View all recent sightings.
You can now submit your own sightings to sightings@SanElijo.org.
Visit the Lagoon. Enjoy its beauty. Help in its conservation.
It's your Lagoon - It's your legacy.
