The dense brush and weedy areas around the base of the bridge are good for sparrows. Migrating swallows are abundant in spring. The natural cliff face substrate on the north side of the bridge is used by many nesting Cliff Swallows and some Northern Rough-winged Swallows each year. A couple of large openings in the cliff have been used by nesting Great Horned Owls early in the season. In spring there is more bird activity as northbound migrants pass through.

White-crowned Sparrow, Savannah Sparrow, Wrentit, White-throated Swift, and several swallow species are regular here during migration. Common birds include Red-tailed Hawk, Common Raven, Say's Phoebe, Western Bluebird, Common Yellowthroat, Yellow-rumped Warbler, Blue-gray Gnatcatchers, towhees, and blackbirds. This is a good location to see raptors since the sky is wide open and unobscured. Unusual bird sightings include Bald Eagle, Prairie Falcon, Mountain Bluebird, and Phainopepla.

This 700-foot bridge on Tepusquet Road was constructed in 2009 - 2010 and spans the Sisquoc River east of Santa Maria. The sides of the bridge are wide and can be easily walked from one end to the other. The river bed is mostly dry except after periods of substantial rain in late winter and spring when the river begins to flow west toward the confluence with the Cuyama River. Below their confluence, these two tributaries form the Santa Maria River.

On the north end of the bridge, there are a couple of wide areas where you can park. Do not block the entrance roads to private property, and do not trespass to get down to the river bed. Trucks moving rocks and gravel may pull out onto the road so watch for traffic. Traffic in this area is generally very light. There are a few small wineries you can visit nearby. For more birding opportunities take Tepusquet Road north where there are additional hotspots available for birding this scenic habitat all the way to Highway 166.
