Charleston
Slough, over 130 acres of active tidal salt march and slough,
is home to some of the most distinctive species (some endangered)
of birds at Shoreline. While changes continue on the Slough, the
birds have claimed this area as a safe, productive sanctuary in
which to nest and roost.
Coast
Casey Forebay is a small, fresh and salt water area which
serves as a flood control basin for Mountain View and surrounding
communities, and as a home for many interesting and some rare
species of birds, including an exceptional concentration of 25
different types of shorebirds.
Shoreline
Lake planned primarily for non-motorized recreational use,
because of its depth and high water quality, now plays host to
species of birds not commonly fount on this part of the Bay.
Permanente Creek and Mountain View Slough and Tidal
Marsh give us an overview of the wildlife of this
interconnecting system.
Stevens
Creek and the adjacent future tidal marsh provide habitat for
birds as diverse as dabbling ducks and owls.
Meadowlands and natural grasslands and wildflower areas border
the marshes and provide habitat for upland birds. |
