BUSHTIT FEMALE

Huntington Beach, California is located in the Pacific Flyway for migrating birds. This makes it an ideal place to bird watch. Two places open to the public are Bolsa Chica Ecological Reserve wetlands and Huntington Central Park, a birders' delight all year long and especially during the April/May and September/October migrations. 228 species of birds have been spotted in the Park, to date, offering birders an opportunity to see locals as well as discover new species. Don't be surprised to see an occasional vagrant exotic, as well.Favorite bird watching throughout the park includes owls sometimes perched in Eucalyptus trees outside the fountains and children's wing of Central Library and Cultural Center. Also under reconstruction but open regularly is Shipley Nature Center. Bring your binoculars to see birds closer and don't hesitate to stop and visit with the more common species of birds and ducks that nest outside Alice's Breakfast in the Park.Huntington Central Park is a 356-acre park located in the heart of Huntington Beach.
