Paul, yes, the park trails are wheelchair accessible. I saw the Swainson's Warbler this afternoon around 1 o'clock from the paved trail about 100 feet or so past the fire pit. It was back up against the fence foraging in the leaf litter. An Ovenbird was a few feet away. It flew off and I saw it again on two separate checks of an unpaved trail just where the paved trail begins curving to the left. Incidentally, a few yards farther along the curve, on the right side, there is a large beehive hanging in the open from a branch about 20 feet above the ground. There is a tall palm about 15 - 20 feet farther along with what looks like a Monk Parakeet nest in the crown. At least two raccoons were up there, and from the awful screeching I assume they were raiding the nest. Then all was quiet, and one of the raccoons looked like it was licking its lips. I went back to the unpaved trail and found the Swainson's Warbler again. By the way, Arch Creek Park is adjacent on the east side of Enchanted Forest Park, and is partially accessible.
