Watch for the many rare and spectacular birds that can be seen here. Haystack Rock is the closest accessible observation point to see tufted puffins
during their spring and summer nesting seasons. Tens of  thousands of common murres can be seen in spring and summer on Bird Rocks near Chapman Point. Many varieties of shorebirds are spotted on beaches and estuaries during spring and fall migrations. Look for a variety of seabirds and
ducks in fall and winter. From spring to early fall, pelicans can be observed soaring just above the waves or diving into the water with a splash. See bald eagles and peregrine falcons as they patrol the coast year-round.
