Overview: Field trip co-leader Chuck Guilford and co-leader Kathy Kuyper will lead an early morning walk through JBP park to see what birds are in the area. Route for the day will depend upon prior scouting. We will go to the most interesting or rarest birds first. Bring binoculars and meet in the parking lot.
This is an ongoing monthly field trip walk.
The park gates are typically open by 7:15 am. If by chance the park gates are still closed there is on-street parking on Market Street just south of the park, but avoid parking in the bus lane. No permit required for parking in the lot.
Pace: Leisurely walk
Terrain: Mostly flat grass/pavement/boardwalk. Boardwalk and paved pathway are
ADA accessible, but the grass field is not leveled or paved.
Distance: About 2 miles round-trip.
Notes: The restrooms are closed during the Winter, but there are normally portables during the Winter. The restrooms usually open shortly after the gates are opened, but not guaranteed so plan accordingly.
Please plan to be outdoors, with whatever water, snacks, sunscreen, bug repellent, or supplies that you may need.
Please note that this is Juanita Bay Park and is NOT Juanita Beach Park.
