Saints Rest Marsh is an internationally renown bird-staging area. Birds stop to feed during their long migrations between the Arctic and South America. More than 240 species are seen regularly. Over the past 20 years a total of 365 species, more than two thirds of all the birds found in North America, have been sighted here. Among the cord grass and sea lavender are rare sightings of a Glossy Ibis, or more commonly, the park's symbol, the Great Blue Heron. A wheelchair-accessible boardwalk extending 300 meters out onto the marsh allows closer observation of marsh inhabitants and their predators.
