Great birding hotspot
Bolsa Chica Ecological Reserve的点评
点评：Bolsa Chica is a well known hotspot in the birding community. The reserve is an excellent place to practice your bird photography - the abundant bird species are easily seen from the mostly flat trails and boardwalks weaving through the numerous ponds with largely unobstructed views due to lack of trees and buildings.
The reserve is 1300 acres of protected coastal estuary with a wide variety of habitats such as open water, mudflats, salt marsh, coastal dunes, seabird nesting islands, riparian, and freshwater marsh. The variety of bird species is impressive - especially the water fowl during the seasonal migrations. It’s an essential environment for the birds along the Pacific Flyway.
The trails and boardwalks are very well maintained. The trails are gravel with lots of info signs along the way. As an avid birder, it’s a place I visit when I’m competing in a count event or looking for a particular species. A telephoto lens is best here as the trails are set back quite far from the pools which is great for the birds lol!
And while the birding is stellar, it’s not my fave location - it’s very urban and noisy - tons of traffic in the area and tons of people. It’s surrounded by housing and the chaos of Huntington Beach. Even early at sunrise the trails are full of walkers loudly on their phones, joggers, and lots of photographers lol.
It’s free to park and usually ample spaces. There are two entrances with parking - the north and south lots. I almost always use the south lot and entrance - it’s easy to find - right off Hwy 1 and there are bathrooms available.
The signs in the parking lots warn that it’s a “high theft area” so be careful with your belongings.

翻译：Bolsa Chica 是观鸟界著名的热门景点。该保护区是练习鸟类摄影的绝佳场所 - 沿着平坦的小径和木板路穿过众多池塘，由于没有树木和建筑物，视野基本畅通无阻，因此可以轻松看到丰富的鸟类物种。
该保护区占地 1300 英亩，是受保护的沿海河口，拥有各种各样的栖息地，如开阔水域、泥滩、盐沼、沿海沙丘、海鸟筑巢岛、河岸和淡水沼泽。鸟类种类繁多，令人印象深刻 - 尤其是季节性迁徙期间的水禽。这是太平洋飞行路线沿线鸟类必不可少的环境。
小径和木板路维护得很好。小径是碎石路，沿途有很多信息标志。作为一名狂热的观鸟者，当我参加计数活动或寻找特定物种时，我会来这里。最好使用长焦镜头，因为这里的步道距离水池很远，非常适合观鸟，哈哈！
虽然观鸟很棒，但这不是我最喜欢的地方——这里非常城市化，很吵闹——该地区交通繁忙，人山人海。它周围是住宅区和亨廷顿海滩的喧闹。即使在日出时分，步道上也挤满了大声打电话的步行者、慢跑者和许多摄影师，哈哈。
停车免费，通常车位充足。有两个入口可停车——北停车场和南停车场。我几乎总是使用南停车场和入口——很容易找到——就在 1 号高速公路旁，那里有卫生间。
停车场的标志警告说这是一个“盗窃高发区”，所以要小心保管您的财物。
