As a matter of fact, if you're not careful, a local gull may join you for lunch. Shorebirds and waterfowl, songbirds and an occasional raptor can be observed from your deck or beach chair. These eight locations provide easy access to nature in prime areas, the assistance of an observation guide and the opportunity of observing without disturbing the birds. If you don't mind getting splashed, or wet, there are other types of wildlife that may tickle your fancy. Shells cover the beaches, especially after a storm.
Most shells are empty, the discarded houses of various water creatures.
Occasionally, however, you might discover someone at home. And be sure to return them to their natural habitat after you enjoy your look. Most reptiles and amphibians prefer to live beyond the scope of human vision. They seem, almost, to sneak around. Turtles and frogs frequent the edges of ponds, creeks and wetland areas, while lizards and toads can be found in the dune areas.
