As the lagoon is practically in our backyard we go walking there often, especially in spring when the tadpoles turn to frogs in the little creeks. I have taken my girls running there, in their jogger stroller, at least 200 times when they were little. On weekend mornings you will find many people on the northside trail for bird watching, dog walking, jogging or just killing time.<\/p>\n<p><a title=\"Sunset\" href=\"http:\/\/www.oceanlight.com\/spotlight.php?img=18558\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" title=\"Sunset, Batiquitos Lagoon, Carlsbad, California\" src=\"http:\/\/www.oceanlight.com\/stock-photo\/sunset-image-18558-935553.jpg\" alt=\"Sunset, Batiquitos Lagoon, Carlsbad, California\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">Sunset<br \/>\nImage ID: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.oceanlight.com\/spotlight.php?img=18558\">18558<\/a><br \/>\nLocation: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.oceanlight.com\/lightbox.php?location=batiquitos_lagoon&amp;city=carlsbad&amp;state=california&amp;country=usa\">Batiquitos Lagoon<\/a>, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.oceanlight.com\/lightbox.php?city=carlsbad&amp;state=california&amp;country=usa\">Carlsbad<\/a>, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.oceanlight.com\/lightbox.php?state=california&amp;country=usa\">California<\/a>, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.oceanlight.com\/lightbox.php?country=usa\">USA<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a title=\"Great blue heron in flight.\" href=\"http:\/\/www.oceanlight.com\/spotlight.php?img=18723\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" title=\"Great blue heron in flight, Ardea herodias, Batiquitos Lagoon, Carlsbad, California\" src=\"http:\/\/www.oceanlight.com\/stock-photo\/great-blue-heron-ardea-herodias-photograph-18723-756710.jpg\" alt=\"Great blue heron in flight, Ardea herodias, Batiquitos Lagoon, Carlsbad, California\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">Great blue heron in flight.<br \/>\nImage ID: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.oceanlight.com\/spotlight.php?img=18723\">18723<\/a><br \/>\nSpecies: <a title=\"Great blue heron photos\" href=\"http:\/\/www.oceanlight.com\/great_blue_heron_photo.html\">Great blue heron<\/a>, <a title=\"Ardea herodias photos\" href=\"http:\/\/www.oceanlight.com\/lightbox.php?sp=Ardea_herodias\"><i>Ardea herodias<\/i><\/a><br \/>\nLocation: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.oceanlight.com\/lightbox.php?location=batiquitos_lagoon&amp;city=carlsbad&amp;state=california&amp;country=usa\">Batiquitos Lagoon<\/a>, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.oceanlight.com\/lightbox.php?city=carlsbad&amp;state=california&amp;country=usa\">Carlsbad<\/a>, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.oceanlight.com\/lightbox.php?state=california&amp;country=usa\">California<\/a>, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.oceanlight.com\/lightbox.php?country=usa\">USA<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a title=\"Cattails\" href=\"http:\/\/www.oceanlight.com\/spotlight.php?img=18556\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" title=\"Cattails, Batiquitos Lagoon, Carlsbad, California\" src=\"http:\/\/www.oceanlight.com\/stock-photo\/cattail-photo-18556-343176.jpg\" alt=\"Cattails, Batiquitos Lagoon, Carlsbad, California\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">Cattails<br \/>\nImage ID: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.oceanlight.com\/spotlight.php?img=18556\">18556<\/a><br \/>\nSpecies: <a title=\"Cattail photos\" href=\"http:\/\/www.oceanlight.com\/cattail_photo.html\">Cattail<\/a><br \/>\nLocation: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.oceanlight.com\/lightbox.php?location=batiquitos_lagoon&amp;city=carlsbad&amp;state=california&amp;country=usa\">Batiquitos Lagoon<\/a>, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.oceanlight.com\/lightbox.php?city=carlsbad&amp;state=california&amp;country=usa\">Carlsbad<\/a>, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.oceanlight.com\/lightbox.php?state=california&amp;country=usa\">California<\/a>, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.oceanlight.com\/lightbox.php?country=usa\">USA<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a title=\"Cormorants flying\" href=\"http:\/\/www.oceanlight.com\/spotlight.php?img=18557\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" title=\"Cormorants flying, Batiquitos Lagoon, Carlsbad, California\" src=\"http:\/\/www.oceanlight.com\/stock-photo\/cormorants-flying-picture-18557-189365.jpg\" alt=\"Cormorants flying, Batiquitos Lagoon, Carlsbad, California\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">Cormorants flying<br \/>\nImage ID: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.oceanlight.com\/spotlight.php?img=18557\">18557<\/a><br \/>\nLocation: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.oceanlight.com\/lightbox.php?location=batiquitos_lagoon&amp;city=carlsbad&amp;state=california&amp;country=usa\">Batiquitos Lagoon<\/a>, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.oceanlight.com\/lightbox.php?city=carlsbad&amp;state=california&amp;country=usa\">Carlsbad<\/a>, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.oceanlight.com\/lightbox.php?state=california&amp;country=usa\">California<\/a>, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.oceanlight.com\/lightbox.php?country=usa\">USA<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Batiquitos Lagoon borders Carlsbad and La Costa in northern San Diego County.
