SIBYLS team enjoy Kayaking at Elkhorn Slough Reserve

The SIBYLS group (and Halbach award winners) enjoy a well-deserved day out kayaking at one of California’s largest protected coastal salt marshes which provides habitat for a fantastic diversity of birds, plants, marine mammals, and fish. The group was able to observe Southern Sea Otters, Harbor Seals and California Sea Lions in their natural habitat without disturbing or impacting them negatively. Other wildlife included shorebirds like long-billed curlews and marble godwits, wading birds such as great blue herons and snowy egrets, waterfowl including buffleheads and scoters, and pelicans such as the American white pelican
