premier birding destinations. Located on the Pacific Flyway,
the Central Coast boasts a large over-wintering bird population
in addition to abundant resident species. San Luis Obispo
County has a recorded bird population of 442 bird species,
which is over half of the nation's total avian diversity of
810 species! Sunset magazine recently listed the Central Coast
as one of the top five birding destinations in the west (November,
2002). Over the years the Los Osos/Morro Bay area has consistently
been in the top five of the Big Sit, a 24-hour single point
bird count. In 2002, Los Osos recorded 122 species during
the Big Sit, placing it a full 20 species higher than the
