Photos 02Feb20: Shadow Cliffs is another wonderful park in the East Bay Regional Park System. The dogs can run here and we’re not too close to the other animals. I’ve made some incredible videos and images here of a number of species, young and old – nesting, parenting, feeding. The number of species present in this park is wild. This is but a few.

Shadow Cliffs -February 12, 2020
Juvenile & Adult Coot | Red Tail | Hummingbird | Juvenile Cormorant | Trees full of Cormorants and Great Blue Herons | A Turkey Vulture | Mount Diablo | an Osprey who had the audacity to fly right in front of me maybe 100 feet away – WICKED | Canadian Geese | a Hungry Squirrel | and what I think is a Merlin. This was a great day for birding obviously.
The East Bay Regional Park System is a premier network of public lands spanning Alameda and Contra Costa counties in California. Established to preserve the region’s natural heritage, the district manages over 130,000 acres across 73 parks, shorelines, and trails. These diverse landscapes range from the rugged peaks of Mount Diablo to the serene marshlands of the San Francisco Bay shoreline.
For residents and visitors, the park system offers an extensive array of recreational opportunities, including hiking, cycling, equestrian trails, and swimming facilities. Beyond leisure, the district serves as a vital ecological sanctuary, protecting native flora and fauna while providing essential wildlife corridors in an increasingly urbanized environment. By maintaining these open spaces, the East Bay Regional Park System ensures that the beauty of the East Bay remains accessible, fostering a deep connection between the community and the spectacular natural world of the Tri-Valley and beyond.
