We encourage you to visit Commodore Park (on the Magnolia side of the Ballard Locks) between February and August. The herons and their nests can be seen easily – and if you have binoculars – even better!

Heron Watching

Great Blue Herons can be seen courting and nesting between February and August. We encourage you to visit Commodore Park to see the nesting birds during these months. Kindly watch quietly and carefully during this very sensitive time so as not to disturb these lovely creatures. Remember, this is their home. In addition to the newly expanded great blue heron colony in Commodore Park, other colonies in the greater Seattle area are located on the University of Washington campus, at Marymoor Park in Redmond, and in the City of Kenmore.

Heron Habitat Helpers is attempting to learn about new nesting locations and will provide periodic reports. Residents who spot herons flying with twigs and small branches in their bills, a sign of nest building, are encouraged to report these sightings to info@heronhelpers.org.
