Birds of Hearst San Simeon State Park

There are many species of birds found in Hearst San Simeon SP, and now you can identify them! Browse the field guide, or use the tags on the left to search by taxonomy. Click each entry for more photos and information about each species.

The initial species list was provided to us by Cal Poly Ornithology students. This field guide represents that inventory, as well as additional observations by community birding groups and park staff.

Please help us expand the list. From within the park, you can submit your own observations to our community inventory project here:
