Tips for birding Sunken Island
Follow Beach Road in Fairfield west to its end at the mouth of Pine Creek. Sunken Island is about one quarter of a mile offshore and is covered at high tide, but the terminus is marked by a large red bell buoy. Small groups of ducks, including the eiders, are often seen feeding in the shallow water off the island. A spotting scope is necessary to view these birds, as they are usually 200 yards offshore.
