Description:
Kennedy Park is paved road with parks and trees tracing the course of the Napa River as it meanders its way into the Bay. Marshes line the exterior boundaries of the park. Napa College forms its eastern border and a golf course to the south. We explore the many aspects of the park. We are likely to see Western Gull, California Gull, Black-Crowned Night-Heron, Western Bluebird, Song Sparrow, Common Yellowthroat, Snowy Egret, Great Egret, American Avocet, Black-Necked Stilt and a plethora of waterfowl and shorebirds in the mudflats. Black Rail is an uncommon, but not unheard of, addition in the marshes. Osprey, White-Tailed Kite, Northern Harrier, Red-Tailed Hawk and Red-Shouldered Hawk patrol the skies and marshes. Great-Horned Owl sometimes hang out in the redwoods. On rare occasions, Bald Eagle has been observed on the River.
Birdwatchers should be meet at the furthest parking lot near the boat launch no later than 08:10 a.m.
