Yesterday I visited this park, which you get to on the Old Belfair Hwy,
which starts near Gorst. My visit was part of a Great Peninsula Conservancy
outing to the watershed in search of bears/evidence of bears (we saw lots of
evidence in the form of scat, but alas no bears), and it was the first time
I'd been there.

What a Fabulous place to bird! The park is near a creek, so it's got a
riparian area as well as the edge of a mixed deciduous/evergreen forest.
Unfortunately most of the surrounding area isn't generally accessible, as
it's part of the Bremerton watershed. There's a possibility that you could
bird there, if you get permission or aren't worried about getting a ticket
or whatever penalty accrues to trespassers in watersheds.

Once the spring birds really come in I imagine the park will be crawling
with birds. For me it's going to be a destination spot if I don't feel like
going all the way to Theler from B'ton.

Good birding,
Mary
