Winter Harbor Landing

Description

Winter Harbor Landing is a county-owned site surrounded by private property; visitors must stay on the public right-of-way. The site is backed by stands of loblolly pine and red cedar, where birds commonly frequent, especially during migrations. Large mudflats within telescope range host a variety of loafing gulls and terns, waterfowl, and more than a dozen species of shorebirds. These shorebirds attract northern harriers that nest in the nearby marshes. The channels may be explored more thoroughly by small boat.
