Juanita Bay Park
Juanita Bay Park, located in Kirkland Washington, consists of over 140 acres of "urban" wildlife habitat and is home to over 200 species of birds, mammals, reptiles, and amphibians. Populations vary throughout the year, especially during bird migration periods. Diverse plant life also is supported by a mix of wet meadow and wetland. The park is highly accessible, and features both paved and wooden walkways, with access to Lake Washington. For the wildlife photographer, Juanita Bay Park provides an excellent "day trip" experience.
Mornings
Arrive before sunrise for racoon, flocks of water birds, and bald eagles.
Mid-day
While the light is less than perfect, head into town for lunch.
Many water birds are out on the lake, far from view, feeding.
Evening
Arrive two hours before sunset, as water birds return to the cove.
Stay as the sun sets for silohuette shots.
Head back into town for dinner!
