Also check out Girsh Park in goleta--large shorebirds such as Curlews like that park in winter.

Greetings SBCO Birders! On this year's Count Day (January 3) we have an unusually high tide, +7.0 Feet at 8:37 AM. These conditions could make it more challenging to find shorebirds in the morning. We have similar high tides coming the next three days:Thurday Dec 4 +7.2 Feet 8:00AMFriday Dec 5 +7.2 Feet 8:42AMSaturday Dec 6 +7.0 Feet 9:30AM If you are looking for a challenge over the next 3 days, outings in the morning to figure out where the shorebirds go when the tide is high could be helpful to us on count day. It has been suggested that grassy areas (parks, cemeteries, Storke Field, etc) near the coast and bodies of water near the coast (Devereux, NCOS, Bird Refuge) might be good places to look.--Glenn Kincaid
