Many come to search out sea birds on the open sea boat trip out of Westport, while others take in birding in Ocean Shores. Ocean Shores, with its rich diversity of habitat, has recorded 300 species of birds. Jetties may host Wandering Tattler, Surfbird, or Rock Sandpiper, while nearby beaches and marshes hold migrating Pacific Golden Plover or even a rare Sharp-tailed Sandpiper. Ocean Shores also seems to be a magnet for rare birds including Mottled Petrel, Manx Shearwater, Eurasian Dotterel, Bristle-thighed Curlew, Bar-tailed Godwit, Curlew Sandpiper, Ivory Gull, Least Tern, Long-billed Murrelet, Horned Puffin, Yellow Wagtail, and McKay's Bunting.
