Coyote Hills Regional Park

In Fremont & Fullerton, Ca I think this must be a big birding spot, I went here for a class on Bay-friendly gardening put on by Alameda county. There were a lot of people there with binoculars and cameras though, and I saw probably 15 different birds and I wasn't even looking! Worth the trip. Check out their website for hours of operation and bring $5 for parking. You can also bike through on the paths that meander through the park as well.

They also do nature hike on the second Saturday of every month http://www.coyotehills.org/artman/publish/article_13.shtml

I guess they are under pressure to give up some land to build (guess what...) houses. check out there blog here:

Genesis concert

Genesis Concert

I've been to the HP paviollion before, but never to see Genesis!

They were pretty good, even from way up at the tippy-top of the venue...
