Lake Elizabeth provides excellent late winter birding. Breeding Allen’s and migrating Rufous Hummingbirds may be near the palm trees, swallows will be foraging over the lake, and early migrants might be found in the willows. We’ll walk on mostly paved sidewalks a little over half a mile to Gomes Park. On the way, we’ll visit the stand of willows, where we should see warblers, goldfinches, and maybe nesting Scaly-breasted Munias. Plan to walk about 2 miles round trip, mostly on paved paths. Heavy rain cancels. 

Directions: From I-880, exit at Stevenson and go east (towards the hills).Turn right at Paseo Padre Parkway and follow the signs for the Aqua Adventure Waterpark. The parking lot for the Waterpark dead ends at the south end of the lake. Meet at the five tall palm trees at the lake end of the parking lot.
