Distribution, abundance, and implications for conservation of winter waterbirds on Tomales Bay, California

Author(s):

Type of Document: 
Journal Article

Tomales Bay, on the Marin County coast, is one of California's largest and least disturbed estuaries, yet little has been published on the status of its waterbirds or their vulnerability to environmental threats. Shuford et al. (1989) reported the results of waterbird censuses of up to 10 consecutive years in the adjacent Point Reyes area between 1965 and 1982 but provided limited information on waterbird use of Tomales Bay.

Status of waterbirds on Tomales Bay, California

Author(s): 
Kelly, J. P.
Publication Date: 
1998
Type of Document: 
Conference Proceedings

We analyzed patterns of abundance and distribution of wintering waterbirds in Tomales Bay, California, based on 21 baywide winter surveys over 7 years from 1989-90 to 1995-96. Total waterbird abundances averaged 21,943 (min. = 14,842, max. = 25,553), excluding shorebirds and gulls. Mean waterbird density was 770 birds/km2 with the greatest concentrations along the east shore and in the area of the Bay between Pelican Point and Tom’s Point. Surf Scoter, Bufflehead, and Greater Scaup together accounted for 70% of the total waterbirds. Aerial count data from the U. S.

Inventory of winter waterbirds and shorebirds on Tomales Bay: 1998-1999

Author(s):

Type of Document: 
Technical Report

The Golden Gate National Recreation Area and the Point Reyes National Seashore include the surface waters of Tomales Bay, a twelve-mile long estuary that floods the northwest end of the fault-generated Olema Valley. The bay differs from other, generally shallower, Pacific coast estuaries and lagoons in having a much greater area of open water at low tide and therefore more waterbird habitat through the tidal cycle. Tide flats providing suitable habitat for most shorebird species are concentrated at opposite ends of the bay, in the vicinities of the deltas of Lagunitas and Walker creeks.
