VIEWPOINT: 



COLONY: 



ACCESS: 



Point St. George or Pebble Beach Drive, Crescent City. 

 Castle Rock (325 006). 



From Crescent City take any of the several arterial roads leading west from 

 Highway 101 to Pebble Beach Drive. The best locations for viewing are 

 any of the large pullouts near Point St. George (see map). No attempt should 

 be made to land on Castle Rock since a great deal of disturbance would 

 occur. 



SEABIRD SPECIES: 



Castle Rock is a breeding ground for 12 species of seabirds, but because of its distance 

 from shore, birds can only be seen with a spotting scope. Point St. George is note- 

 worthy because of excellent views offered of Aleutian Canada Geese. The geese are 

 present in greatest numbers in the spring. Up to nearly 1,500 birds can be seen in April. 

 The dawn departure of the geese from Castle Rock to their mainland feeding grounds 

 is a great wildlife spectacle. This is best viewed from anywhere on Point St. George.
