In the summertime, look for the Osprey and a variety of shorebirds. Throughout the year songbirds, such as the Yellow-rumped Warbler and the Carolina Chickadee.

Osprey can be seen nesting on the top of platforms in the sound. Lots of Brown Pelican can be seen skimming across the water and diving for fish. This caused their eggshells to become weak and break before chicks were ready to hatch. The pelican and osprey populations are now recovering. Along the water on the soundside, there are many holes in the sand made by birds with long bills, such as the Sandpiper, as they probe for worms and small clams.
