SUMMARY:Habitat Walk: Marina Boardwalk Salt Marsh
DESCRIPTION:Biologist Faylla Chapman leads a free salt marsh habitat walk from the Marina Boardwalk in Morro Bay State Park.\nA slow mile through the salt marsh and mudflats off the Marina Boardwalk\, focused on the estuary itself: how it formed\, how it keeps changing\, and how the marsh plants feed the migratory birds\, marine mammals\, and everything else that depends on this water. Flat\, boardwalk-friendly\, and open to all experience levels; it’s the back bay explained by someone who reads it fluently. \nWhere: Morro Bay State Park Marina\, State Park Road\, Morro Bay\nWhen: Thursday\, September 24\, 2026\, 1:00 to 3:00 PM\nWho: Morro Coast Audubon Society\nCost: Free; registration required\nGood to know: Small group; request registration through the MCAS site and wait for email confirmation \nMore Information \nUnderstanding the marsh changes every walk after it; where the next one leads is on the full Morro Bay events calendar. \nPhoto Credit: MCAS website | “Morro Bay Marina [photo by Robbie Revel]”

SUMMARY:Nearby: Montaña de Oro Birding Walk at Spooner's Cove
DESCRIPTION:Morro Coast Audubon leads a birding walk through Montaña de Oro\, from the Spooner’s Cove bluffs up Islay Creek.\nMark Mushkat leads this one\, starting on the sea bluffs above Spooner’s Cove\, working the rocky shoreline for sea ducks\, shorebirds\, and raptors\, then turning inland along Islay Creek into the pine-dotted campgrounds for passerines and woodpeckers. One to two gentle\, ADA-accessible miles through the park locals treat as a backyard\, and visitors drive hours for. This trip is pitched at intermediate and experienced birders with eBird accounts. \nWhere: Montaña de Oro State Park\, Spooner’s Cove\, Pecho Valley Rd\, Los Osos\nWhen: Saturday\, September 12\, 2026\, 8:30 AM to 12:00 PM\nWho: Morro Coast Audubon Society\nCost: Free; registration required\nGood to know: Limited to 12 participants; eBird account required; request registration through the MCAS site and wait for confirmation \nMore Information \nTwelve spots at MDO go the way you’d expect; the season’s other chances are gathered on the Morro Bay events calendar. \nPhoto credit: MCAS website | “Bluffs at Montana de Oro [photo by Bob Revel]”

SUMMARY:Marina Boardwalk Bird Walk with Morro Coast Audubon
DESCRIPTION:An intermediate bird walk works the State Park marina boardwalk\nIn Morro Bay State Park. Morro Coast Audubon leads an intermediate-level bird walk along the State Park marina boardwalk on Saturday\, August 22 from 8 to 11 AM\, free with registration and limited to 12. The boardwalk is where the estuary meets the moorings\, and three hours of flat\, easy walking covers one of the most productive edges of the whole bay\, mudflats on one side\, marsh and eucalyptus on the other. \nThis one is pitched a notch up from the beginner sessions: the leaders ask for some field experience and an eBird account\, since the group logs its sightings as it goes. That makes it a genuine skills-building morning for birders ready to move past pointing and toward recording\, with scopes on the flats and the estuary’s late-summer shorebird traffic providing plenty to log. \nRegistration is required through Morro Coast Audubon and the dozen spots go quickly. An 8 AM start means marine-layer conditions on the water\, so layers and a warm hand around the coffee are standard kit. The marina parking area serves the boardwalk directly. The State Park day-use setting means heron rookery views are a bonus possibility on the walk in. \nFor more birding and estuary mornings around the bay\, see what is on the event calendar.

SUMMARY:Morro Rock Birding with Morro Coast Audubon
DESCRIPTION:Audubon leads a morning of birding at the base of Morro Rock\nIn Morro Bay. Morro Coast Audubon runs a Friday morning birding session at Morro Rock on August 21 from 9 to 11 AM\, free with advance registration and capped at 12 participants. The session works from the flat parking area at the Rock’s base\, which makes it fully ADA accessible\, no trail\, no climb\, just two hours of guided looking at one of the richest bird sites on the coast. \nThe Rock itself is the headline habitat: peregrine falcons nest on its faces\, and the harbor mouth below funnels in everything from pelicans and cormorants to loons\, grebes\, and the odd surprise the leaders live for. Late August adds early fall migrants to the resident cast\, and Audubon’s leaders are the kind who can turn a distant speck into a story. Binoculars help but loaners and shared scopes usually cover newcomers. \nRegistration is required through Morro Coast Audubon\, and with a 12-person cap\, the sessions fill. Dress in layers for a marine-layer morning at the harbor mouth\, where the wind finds you even in August. The parking lot at the base of the Rock is free. \nFor more bird walks and outdoor mornings around the bay\, see what is coming up on the event calendar.

SUMMARY:Nearby: Sweet Springs Habitat Walk with Morro Coast Audubon Society
DESCRIPTION:Audubon walks the habitats of Sweet Springs at low tide\nIn Los Osos\, across the back bay. Morro Coast Audubon Society leads a habitat walk through Sweet Springs Nature Preserve on Saturday\, August 15 from 9 to 11 AM\, with Faylla Chapman covering the preserve’s history and the plant communities that hold its bird habitat together. The route ends at the viewing platform over the back bay\, timed for low tide\, when the mudflats fill with feeding shorebirds and the platform becomes the best seat on the estuary. \nSweet Springs is the back bay’s pocket jewel\, freshwater ponds under Monterey pines opening onto the tidal flats\, and a walk that explains how the pieces fit (the springs\, the plants\, the tides\, the birds) turns a pretty stroll into a working understanding of why this small preserve punches so far above its size. Chapman’s history-plus-habitat framing is exactly the right lens for it. \nThe walk is free but you must request to register through the event link; registration questions go to fieldtrips@morrocoastaudubon.org\, and Audubon’s summer trips have been filling fast\, so reaching out early is wise. Flat\, easy walking throughout\, with layers advised for the marine-layer morning and binoculars welcome but not required. Street parking on Ramona Avenue serves the preserve entrance directly. \nFor more guided walks and Nearby Happenings around the estuary\, see what is coming up on the event calendar.

SUMMARY:Habitat at Windy Cove Field Trip
DESCRIPTION:A Morro Coast Audubon walk down to Windy Cove\, the protected back-bay shoreline directly below the Morro Bay State Park Natural History Museum.\nThe focus is the habitat itself: estuary plants\, mudflat invertebrates\, the resident shorebirds and gulls\, and how the whole community changes between tides. \nEasier 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. \nMore on the HelloMorroBay events calendar for the rest of the week. \nphoto credit: https://www.morrocoastaudubon.org/2026/05/mcas-field-trip-jun-19-habitat-windy.html

Not ADA accessible\, no restrooms on the route. \nLimited to 12 participants by registration. Sturdy shoes\, binoculars\, layers. Look for leader Sharon’s bright orange Jeep at the meeting point. \nTo see what else is happening around town\, browse the calendar. \nphoto credit: https://www.morrocoastaudubon.org/2026/05/mcas-field-trip-jun-12-western-snowy.html
