Description: The Elfin Forest Natural Area encompasses multiple habitats: Dune-Scrub, Maritime Chaparral, Manzanita/Oak woodland complex and Riparian + Marsh. Vicky weaves together all of the plants, insects, animals and birds into a tapestry of this unique wild-land area. Along the way there are opportunities to see many different species of land birds. We will also look for shorebirds, ducks, grebes and other wintering migrants from the viewing platforms. Our walk is a loop of about 1 mile on boardwalk with a short sandy access trail. Restrooms are not available.
