Egery Flats
A broad estuarine landscape valued as much for habitat quality as for any single viewing point, and a strong addition for serious coastal birders.
Egery Flats is less of a park-style stop and more of a landscape-scale birding site. The marsh and tidal habitat support an abundance of invertebrate life and provide feeding areas for shorebirds, waders, and other coastal specialists. For tours aimed at more dedicated birders, it adds a bigger-picture understanding of why the region is so productive for birds in the first place.
