Oyster Lake is a shallow, brackish lake that lies just north of the IntraCoastal Waterway on the east side of West Matagorda Bay. Here, there are salt marshes, a large saline flat and views of both Matagorda Bay and Oyster Lake. Birds that are expected on this trip are ducks, cranes, waders, gulls and terns, shorebirds and a chance for raptors and passerines along Oyster Lake Road. Who knows, a Clapper Rail or Seaside Sparrow might even treat us to a rare look. (198 species recorded in eBird)
