The Watchable Wildlife Site in the Salton Sea watershed of California is a popular destination for nature enthusiasts who want to explore the unique habitat of the region. The site is located on the eastern shore of the Salton Sea, which is the largest lake in California and an important stopover point for migratory birds. The site is home to a wide variety of wildlife, including hundreds of species of birds, fish, and reptiles. Visitors can take guided tours or explore on their own, hiking along the shoreline or birdwatching from one of the many observation points. The site is open year-round, although the best time to visit is during the fall and winter months when the migratory birds are passing through.

One of the main reasons to visit the Watchable Wildlife Site is the opportunity to see some of the unique wildlife that calls the Salton Sea watershed home. The area is home to several species of fish and birds that are found nowhere else in the world. Visitors can take guided tours to learn about the ecology of the area and the efforts being made to protect the wildlife. Another attraction is the stunning natural beauty of the Salton Sea itself, which is surrounded by rugged mountains and desert landscapes.
