This small park with picnic tables and basketball courts attracts a few Eurasian Wigeon along with American Wigeon flocks in most winters, as well as scaup and gull flocks that regularly include Glaucous-winged, Herring, Thayer’s, and California Gulls, with chance of Western or Glaucous Gulls. All of these birds become acclimated to humans, allowing for very close study. Songbird habitat is minimal, so this is a specialty stop.
