Bolsa Chika Wet Lands By Rudy Padilla

Ecology At 1,449 acres, the Bolsa Chica Wetlands is the largest saltwater marsh between Monterey Bay and the Tijuana River Estuary. Approximately 5 miles of trails can be explored from sunrise to sunset.

Plants The coastal salt marsh habitat is based by flooding of low-lying areas at high tide by salt water from the ocean. Salt water flows into the wetlands from both Anaheim Bay and an inlet near Seapoint Ave. Plants often have to deal with changing levels of water as a result of the tides. This means dead plants and animals are at the base of the food pyramid, and that the decomposer community is of utmost importance in this ecosystem.

Animals The Bolsa Chica Wetlands are an important stop as well as nesting grounds for many flying species! Typically any time you visit the wetlands there will be plenty of birds to observe, especially when compared with residential and urban areas.

Bolsa Chika History This land abounded with wildlife, supporting now species such as grizzly bears, bobcats, mule deer, antelope, American badgers, and long tailed weasels. This beautiful estuary was home to Native Americans as far back as 8,000 years ago. Between 6000 and 3500 B.C. a group of Native Americans lived in the area that are believed to be Hokan speaking and ancestors of the Chumash.

Bolsa Chika Bird Checklist Bolsa Chica is one of the premier birding locations in southern California.This list includes 186 regularly occurring species. In summer, Bolsa Chica has breeding colonies of different species, including the largest colony of Elegant Terns in the USA. In winter, shorebirds and waterbirds predominate, while terns have migrated south.

Resources The Bolsa Chika contributes to all species living in the wetlands by providing water and food. It is also the best migrating place for all flying species to migrate to. This list includes 186 regularly occurring species. A supplemental list includes 116 less frequently seen species, defined as species that are seen at Bolsa Chica less often than once per year.
