Golden eagles, peregrine falcons, and numerous hawk and passerine species are often observed flying above the coastal bluffs. In addition, the nearshore marine habitats and pristine tidepools support a wide variety of marine wildlife visible from the trail. Brown pelican, black oystercatcher, southern sea otter, and migrating grey whales are common sights.Wildflowers flourish in the spring, a benefit of PG&E`s rotational grazing practices.
