With more than 200 species and a varied habitat, many birders consider San Juan Island to be one of the best birdwatching areas in the state. One reason is that because the volume of water equaling that of the Amazon River flushes from the Strait of Georgia through Haro Strait, the Salish Sea is a rich environment for birds. The Strait of Juan de Fuca is a major summer feeding area for rhinocerous auklets, tufted puffins, pigeon guillemots, and by summer’s end, common murres, Cassin’s auklets and the occasional forktailed storm petrel.
