Birding Outings: Birding at Lindo Lake

Birding at Lindo Lake!

Lindo Lake in Lakeside is a fantastic spot for birding, attracting a diverse range of bird species year-round. The lake’s mix of open water, riparian habitats, and surrounding trees creates an ideal environment for waterfowl, wading birds, and songbirds. Visitors can spot a variety of species, from Egrets and Herons to ducks and occasional migratory birds. The easy-to-navigate trails around the two lakes provide great views for birdwatchers of all levels, making it a peaceful and rewarding location for nature lovers

The meeting place is near the community center or the main parking lot, here’s how to get there:

• From the larger, main parking lot: After parking, head towards the community center, which is located just off Lindo Lane. It’s near the playground and walking paths. The community center is a central landmark and is easy to spot. The trails leading around the lake start nearby.

• From the smaller parking lot near the baseball field: If parking here, walk toward the western side of the lake to meet near the community center, as this lot is on the opposite side. You’ll need to cross the baseball field and follow the trails to the other side of the lake. 
   

Lindo Lake is accessible through public transportation. The Metropolitan Transit System (MTS) in San Diego operates bus routes that stop near the lake. The Route 834 bus has a stop at Lakeside Transit Center, which is a short walk from Lindo Lake. Public transportation provides a convenient option for those without a car, though schedules may vary, so it's a good idea to check bus times in advance.
