Oregon Coast Birding - Shore Birds
The Central Oregon Coast abounds with numerous different water settings spread throughout its shoreline geography featuring such water bodies as tidal-influenced bay estuaries, running rivers, coastal lakes, riparian wetlands areas and marshlands. All of these areas attract a fascinating range of bird species drawn to the food sources thriving within these aquatic settings of salt and fresh water, especially many shore bird species. Great egrets flourish in these areas all year making them one of the favorite shore bird species for Oregon Coast Birders and Wildlife Explorers to observe in the wild. On occasions, Great egrets can be found hunting along the ocean shorelines on calm water days or during the daily low tides. Mornings can be the best time of the day to find these Great egrets wading along the ocean shorelines when the beaches are less crowded. Also, Great egrets are frequent visitors to the estuarine bays of the coast including such noteworthy places as the Netarts Bay Estuary, the Siletz Bay Estuary, and the Alsea Bay Estuary. The Yaquina Bay Estuary provides an ideal spot to observe these birds as well.
