Every winter, our 65,000 mph journey around the Sun comes to its closest point, causing extremely high and low tides during December and January. These low tides expose large expanses of mud that are normally submerged, which provide foraging space for the thousands of migrating birds that use Upper Newport Bay as a rest stop during their travels.
