Shellcrete Birding Site

A compact site on Tule Creek with easy access, useful water views, and a nice connection to the broader Pathways network.

Shellcrete Birding Site combines local history with practical birding. Its position along Tule Creek makes it useful for scanning waders, small shorebirds, and passing terns, while nearby vegetation can host migrants during peak movement periods. The link to the Pathways Center and bridge also makes it a flexible stop for walking tours and short introductory outings.
