This is the way we do things around here.

It surrounded by hundreds of apartment buildings and high rise business buildings as well as the Superior Court. It s the very first bird sanctuary in the United States and has a great variety of birds, migrating and strictly local using it all year round.
When I took photography I spent many hours there. I love that park. When I volunteered to take Kindergartners there on field trips it was a delight to help them wear themselves out.
I lived in Oakland for over 40 years. I miss it, but I cant afford to live there. Its probably the most misunderstood city in the country.

Kick in to the DU tip jar?
This week we're running a special pop-up mini fund drive. From Monday through Friday we're going ad-free for all registered members, and we're asking you to kick in to the DU tip jar to support the site and keep us financially healthy.
As a bonus, making a contribution will allow you to leave kudos for another DU member, and at the end of the week we'll recognize the DUers who you think make this community great.
