Alameda County: April 2005 Archives

We've spent some time at Coyote Hills Regional Park, near the Dumbarton Bridge, and now it's time to explore the Hayward Regional Shoreline, near the San Mateo Bridge. Though not as beautiful and diverse as Coyote Hills, Hayward Shoreline has quite a number of birds and a nice spot to watch the the San Francisco Bay.

The ladies of th Sunol, California, homeowners' association would like to express their concern over the lack of cable television access in the Sunol Regional Wilderness park. The ladies would very much like to catch up on past episodes of CSI and Desperate Housewives. They also have some shopping to do on HSN. The ladies hereby warn the public that if they do not get what they want, they may spend even more time sleeping that would be considered prudent. Thank you for your attention.

Fremont, California is one of those cities in which no tourist ever sets foot. But like the rest of Alameda and Contra Costa Counties, it hosts the East Bay Regional Parks District, a series of beautiful parks, many of which would be state parks in other parts of the country. One that is well known to commuters who cross the homely Dumbarton Bridge is Coyote Hills Regional Park.

This time of year the hills are emerald green, lush with wildflowers, brimming with squirrels.

Update: nice article on Coyote Hills here.

Fremont, California's Coyote Hills Regional Park is one of the Bay Area's hidden gems, and a place I enjoy stalking with my camera. This red-winged blackbird perched on the cattails in the marsh and posed nicely. More pictures from Coyote Hills coming up this week.
