There is a great spot down at the end of the Coastal Trail near just down from the Kincaid Chalet in Kincaid Park. From the Coastal Trail at the Chalet you head down the hill until you come to where the trail follows the contours of the bluff that runs along the ocean. There is a beach several 100 yds away from the bluff. And in between is what I call the Kincaid Flats.
When there has been a lot of rain the flats are definitely wetlands. All sorts of waterfowl will congregate... depending on the time of the year. It has been raining a lot. In fact today was probably the nicest day we have had in a month. I took my dog JD and friend dog Crystal out to burn off some energy.
After the two spent some time getting muddy I decided I better get them cleaned off before we headed back to the car. That was when the madness began. There were some Greater Yellowlegs (sandpipers) taking in the water in the flats and JD decided she was going to get one. Of course she did not, but she tried... for 20 minutes strait. JD chased the birds and Crystal chase JD. It was quite a scene.
I don't think the birds were any worse for the experience. They didn't seem to be nesting and JD never had a chance.
