On the beach you can see Sanderling, Dunlin, Ruddy turnstile, and Black-bellied Plover work for food along the shore line while Gulls hunt crabs, and Northern Gannets dive for fish in fall and winter. Look for pelagic birds such as Scoter, Eider, and Shearwaters. When you return to your car walk back along the bay side of Beach Road, You can also use your car as you drive along the road stopping and using your car as a blind. The salt marsh will spread in front of you where you can see Egret, herons, Clapper rail, Least and Common terns and Black Skimmers.
