Visitors to San Elijo Lagoon might see mullet emerging from the surface of the water, or glimpse sightings of Osprey and Egrets hunting fish and invertebrates in the salt marsh. Winter shorebirds are here to spend the season, many of which come from the high Arctic. Walkers of all ages can enjoy the fragrance of sages described along the way, and see the native red "holly" berries of toyon, offering a splash of color on the hillsides.
