Although I claim the Bay Area as home, I'm not real familiar with the South Bay. Lineatus introduced me to a treasure and I will be have to sure to go back and visit with my birdwatching father. He will love this place.
We started off hiking from the parking lot through coastal shrub, lots of dry grass, bushy plants and a few trees. There was enough flora to hide the fauna and we began the tour trying to figure out who was squawking at us from the bushes. Ended up being a baby mockingbird who still hadn't learned how to mock anything other than a loud and monotone bird. Poor guy.
