UPPER NEWPORT BAY Bird Walk

Join Jim Kendall and Betty Kanne for a monthly bird walk through the beautiful Upper Newport Bay! View the seasonal shorebirds, ducks, grebes, herons & egrets that frequent the bay. We will continue walking through the adjacent riparian woodland and coastal sage scrub habitat to view resident and seasonally migrating bird species. Bring your binoculars and possibly a scope and camera. This is an excellent vantage point to watch for Black Skimmers and terns flying over the water as well as herons & egrets stalking their prey in the shallows. Meeting Location: Meet at the Big Canyon parking lot in Newport Beach. Directions: From Jamboree, take San Joaquin Hills Road west toward the bay until it intersects with Back Bay Drive. Turn right onto Back Bay Drive and follow the road to the Big Canyon parking lot, which will be on your left. No matter your birding experience, we’d love to have you join us!
