Nature lovers who get around by wheelchair or who walk slowly will enjoy a leisurely paced birding tour at Kirkland’s Juanita Bay Park on Dec. 10.

With an experienced Eastside Audubon field trip guide in the lead, viewers will get close to the bird life of Juanita Bay and its marshes on level boardwalks, and will follow gently sloping, paved pathways to explore meadows and woodland edges.

“Winter ducks are in their bright breeding plumage, Trumpeter Swans are landing on the bay, and the Bald Eagles have been hunting regularly,” said Eastside Audubon president-elect Andy McCormick, who will lead the three-hour tour. “In this season people of all abilities can have a memorable experience at the park.”

The free tour will start at 9 a.m. at the Juanita Bay Park parking lot at 2201 Market St., Kirkland. It will end by noon, and participants can leave the group at any time. Reservations are not required, and it is not necessary to be a member of Eastside Audubon.

Each participant must be independent or have an attendant. A portable lavatory is available, but the park restrooms are closed for the winter.
