Habitat at Windy Cove Field Trip

A Morro Coast Audubon walk down to Windy Cove, the protected back-bay shoreline directly below the Morro Bay State Park Natural History Museum.

The focus is the habitat itself: estuary plants, mudflat invertebrates, the resident shorebirds and gulls, and how the whole community changes between tides.

Easier and shorter than most MCAS field trips, with the museum’s restrooms and parking right above the trail. Park at the lower museum lot or at Windy Cove.

More on the HelloMorroBay events calendar for the rest of the week.
