Bird Sit and Stroll: Imperial Beach

Friday, August 28th, 9-11am

Join us for a Bird Sit! It is a stationary birding activity, where we go someplace where the birds are plentiful, set up some optics, and watch the birds from the comfort of a chair or bench. A short, easy walk may be offered.

Binoculars will be available for those who are new to birding. We'll have spotting scopes, too. Experienced birders will be on hand to talk about the birds we see and keep track of them in eBird. Expect to see shorebirds, as well as gulls, terns, and pelicans. Birds of prey appear overhead, including osprey, hawks, and falcons.

Drop in anytime, and stay as long as you like! We will have low set scopes for those seated or in wheelchairs. There are some benches with no backs, so we will provide a few camping chairs. The large observation deck invites us to sit and stay awhile, while flat and wide trails along the bay allow for out and back walks to get closer looks at other parts of the bay.

Location Information

Park in the public lot across from the Public Works Department. There are no restrooms at this location. The parking lot is filled with large rock gravel, but plenty of street parking allows access to the trails via the sidewalks, allowing users to circumnavigate the gravel lot.
