Chinitna Bay offers world class brown bear viewing. Visitors may be able to see as many as twenty coastal brown bears from a single location. The bears congregate in high numbers in the estuaries where rivers flowing out of the mountains meet the sea in Chinitna Bay. In this habitat food is plentiful from early spring until the bears return to their dens in the fall. Late spring through mid-summer bears feed on sedges that are high in protein and other edible plants which grow in the salt marshes. In late summer when the salmon begin to run, bears head to the rivers at the head of the bay. Bears aren't the only wildlife that congregates in Chinitna Bay's rich estuaries. This area is a bird-watcher’s dream with many opportunities to view a wide variety of birds:

• Shorebirds stage in the mud and sand flats during spring migration. • Dabbling ducks are present all summer, but peak during migration in April and Septem-

ber. Look for them at river mouths and mud flats at the head of the bay. • Diving ducks stage in the intertidal zones near shore during spring migration. • Sea ducks are present all summer, but peak in mid- August prior to the fall migration.

Look for them in the intertidal and subtidal zones. • Seabirds nest on nearby Gull Island during the summer and can be seen foraging in the

bay. • Raptors nest and forage along the coast and rivers year round. • Songbirds nest and forage in the salt marshes and forests.
