Located in Pac Heights, Lafayette Park is 11 acres with trees, rolling hills, a playground for kids, and a view of the San Francisco Bay. I was lucky to visit on a cloudy morning with some sprinkling rain, which made for well exposed photos and active birds.
As if a dinner bell had rung, we got to watch many different birds hunting for dinner. This evening was particularly active.
Dry Creek Pioneer Regional Park is conveniently close to Highway 880 and offers views of Oakland, San Francisco, and South Bay. The park lived up to its name with generally clear skies and “golden brown” fields of foliage.
It’s been a few years intermittently working on Project 200 Birds and I have yet to get my timing for nesting season down.
I joined the San Francisco Audubon Society on their monthly bird walk. The society’s mission is to conserve and restore natural ecosystems, focusing on birds, other wildlife, and their habitats for the benefit of humanity and the earth’s biological diversity.
Many of San Francisco’s natural water sources have been filled or paved over and even the bay is not as large as it once was. But nature is coming back with our help.
