New River Park/North San Gabriel Park

On Saturday, March 4, Terri and I took Dobbie (our dog) for a walk in the North San Gabriel River Park. This park is relatively new, and is comprised of several trails along the North San Gabriel River. The trails have been joined together to create a 5 mile one way trip, from Georgetown City Park, up to the dam below Lake Georgetown. We walked the 10 miles and birded along the way. It was great, and we saw over 25 birds including redhead duck, American Coot, pied billed grebe, belted kingfisher, cedar waxwing, house finch, yellow rumped warbler, yellow crowned kinglet, ruby crowned kinglet, eastern phoebe, great blue heron, yellow crowned night heron, black vulture, turkey vulture, northern cardinal, northern mocking bird, red bellied woodpecker, downy woodpecker, blue jay, american crow, Carolina chickadee, black-crested titmouse, hermit thrush, chipping sparrow and starling.
