Description

The gentle, paved path around the Lafayette Reservoir is busy with walkers, but it doesn't seem to interfere with bird watching. The lake is a magnet for waterfowl in the Fall and Winter, including as many as 23 species of waterfowl. Osprey, Bald Eagle, American White Pelican, and California Thrasher are all regularly seen here.
