Share

Those interested in nature can start their Fourth of July weekend celebration with a free tour Saturday of the Bolsa Chica wetlands.

Tours leave every 20 minutes beginning at 9 a.m. through 10:30 a.m. at the Bolsa Chica Ecological Reserve parking lot on Pacific Coast Highway, one mile south of Warner Avenue. Tours last about 1 1/2 hours.

This time of year, Bolsa Chica is home to a variety of nesting tern species, which include Forster’s, elegant, royal and black, as they forage for food for their chicks. It is also the mating season for the California sea hares.
