ALAMEDA PARKS - MARINA PARK AND MAIN STREET LINEAR PARK

Marina Park, with its tree lined paths which curve around the lagoons of Marina Village and Marin Village Yacht Harbor was completed in 1985. The marshland was once part of the Bethlehem shipyard where thousand of men and women worked during World War I and II. The former shipyard became Marina Village, a 206 acre development which combined a business park with shopping center and a townhouse development. The 750 berth Yacht Harbor is the largest privately owned marina on San Francisco Bay.

CAN YOU TELL ME WHAT THIS BIRD IS?

I was taking pictures Sunday of a housing development I will be blogging about when I saw this bird. I think it is a gull, but I was too far away to identify it. And I am a lousy gull identifier. If you know what it is, please let me know.

DO YOU KNOW WHO I AM?

When I am on picture safari of houses, I always see some interesting birds. I love Alameda if only for the interesting birds I see. But there are lots of other reasons.
