The Mid-County Coast extends from Santa Cruz to Seascape (south of Aptos). This stretch is the most urbanized part of the county, but substantial areas of natural habitat still exist here. These include some of the county’s better birding locations and provide a variety of birding options to those with limited time or mobility. Such a diversity of habitats is present that 170 species of birds were tallied entirely within the Santa Cruz city limits on April 26th, 2002.
