This is one of my favorite and also one of the closest places to where Max and I live, to go birdwatching. It lies just to the East of the UW stadium and practice fields. There is a nice loop trail that starts out in an open meadow, skirts around some small ponds and takes you past the marshes of Union Bay. In the distance you can see almost all of Lake Washington, the 520 bridge and depending on the season people sailing, canoeing and sometimes Stand-up-Paddling. Any season is great, but Spring is particularly fantastic for birding! Here are some pictures from the last year or so at Montlake.
