I sent an email to a local photographer, and he kindly responded right away with directions and tips. The bay is only 10 minutes drive from the hotel, so it's really easy to get to. And fortunately the weather has been great ---- it was raining sideways when I arrived but the last couple days have been brilliant.
Here's one from today --- a short-eared owl, which can also be found here in good numbers.
