Ogden Point Breakwater

48.41404 , -123.38589

Canada

Large, elevanted stone path reaching over a kilometer out to sea. Incredible spot for seawatching in winter, dress appropriately and weather the storm for the best from-land viewing opportunities of a wide variety of alcids including Marbled and Ancient Murrelet, Rhinocerous Auklet, Pigeon Guillemot, and Common Murre. During the summer not many birders visit the site, though worth noting a Peregrine Falcon has been frequenting the spot and perhaps even nesting nearby in recent years.
