Egrets hunting in the low-tide mudflats in the South Sailing Basin, while young students in a Cal Adventures windsurfer class assemble their rigs on Shorebird Beach. The tide height is -1.1 ft, 1.1 ft below MLLW or 2.2 ft lower than the average low tide.

The photo illustrates two important points: 1) non-motorized water activity is not incompatible with wildlife; and 2) non-motorized water activity is not incompatible with very shallow water at low tide.
