Click on the first letter of the birding spot you want to locate.
This list was originally compiled by
Larry Tunstall, to whom we are grateful. It was originally intended to be more than a birding
resource, rather, a resource for all public places in the East Bay. Hence you will find schools
listed and a million other things where birding is not a primary reason for visiting.
Nevertheless, we think this is a good birding resource.
This list was last maintained by Patrick King. He took Larry's original list from 1998 and
reduced some of the content. What he didn't do is update any addresses and phone numbers that
have changed. Therefore, use any of these details at your own risk.
For birding, the primary use of this index is probably to locate obscure references that birders use to identify places. When first starting birding, they are often perplexed by birding alerts for places like "Franks Dump" and "Mount Trashmore." They were not on many maps.
But the list is really much more than that. All of the trails, cricks, sloughs, fire roads, ponds, points, and peaks then referenced are listed here. If, for example, a Yellow Warbler is known to be singing on Upper Packrat Trail in Tilden Regional Park, you can use this resource to find that trail or that park.
Over time the list will go through some further revisions. The references to Thomas Guides will be removed and the list will probably be further reduced. We are considering removing all of the "bricks and mortar" references, and welcome any comments and suggestions along these lines. Remember that it was intended to be more than a birding resource.

build on the site, and it became an unofficial public park. In 1909 the city of Oakland
purchased it from Adams and created Lakeside Park.

Alameda Creek
DeLorme Northern California Originates in northeastern
Santa Clara County and flows generally northwestward through Sunol Regional Wilderness, then west through Niles Canyon, between Fremont and Union City, and into San Francisco Bay. A large portion of its water is taken
south of Sunol Wilderness through the Alameda Diversion
Tunnel into Calaveras Reservoir and used by the San
Francisco Water Department. The creek below Niles Canyon was extensively modified (widened,
straightened, and enclosed between banks) by the US Army Corps of Engineers, a job finished in
1972. An older channel of the creek also remains, extending through Union City and out into the
bay from Alvarado Large rubber dams in the creek channel in Fremont
divert water into percolation ponds to refresh the groundwater supply. See Alameda County Water District.

facilities for aircraft maintenance and repair as well as naval air supply. Main gate at the
north end of Main St in Alameda. In 1993, it was ordered shut down as part of the government
base-closure program. The Navy was scheduled to begin turning property over to the city of
Alameda in January of 1997, but environmental problems have delayed the process. As of May 1998,
transfer of property is expected to begin in January 1999. Plans for civilian use of the
property are still being completed.

Apperson Ridge
DeLorme Northern California p.105 D-7.
Ridge north of Sunol Regional Wilderness, tending
northwest to southeast, southwest of Indian Creek.
In
1968, Utah Construction & Mining Co obtained a 30-year lease on the ridge and requested a
zoning variance to allow quarrying of rock that would bring the entire ridgetop down below the
level of surrounding hills. In a long public battle, the East Bay
Regional Park District managed to prevent the quarrying. Years later, Oliver De Silva Co
attempted to quarry the ridge. Unlike Utah, De Silva worked out a compromise with EBRPD that
limiting days and hours of quarry work, kept the work out of sight and sound of visitors to
Sunol Wilderness, left the ridgeline relatively intact, and provided economic compensation to
EBRPD was unavoidable ecological damage, so the De Silva quarrying was approved in 1983. (See Stein, A Vision Achieved, pp 71-75.)

Arrowhead Marsh
"Arrowhead-shaped" marsh
extending into San Leandro Bay between Airport Channel and San Leandro
Creek. Thought to have been formed by debris washed downstream when winter rains washed out
Anthony Chabot's first attempt at a dam to create Lake Chabot.
Access from shoreline entrance on Swan Way between Doolittle Dr & Pardee Dr. There are a
parking lot, restrooms, picnic facilities, and elevated viewing structure at the end of the
road. The marsh is a wildlife sanctuary. From the water it can be approached closely only in
canoes or kayaks. From land, you can take a boardwalk a short distance from shore to observe
endangered California Clapper Rails and other wildlife. In 1998, an area of landfill along San
Leandro Creek toward Swan Way was restored to saltwater marsh (see Erstwhile Marsh).

Bethel Island
(1) DeLorme Northern
California p.96 D-1. Delta island protected by levees south of San Joaquin River in northeastern tip of Contra Costa
County, separated by Taylor Slough from Jersey Island and by False
River from Bradford Island. This tract was dredged from the
Delta in 1860. Frank & Anne Bethel bought the land in 1901. It was only a farming area until
the 1930s when hunters and fishermen established a weekend colony near the old wagon bridge
crossing Dutch Slough. After World War II, boaters and others began to visit the island, but the
bridge still carried only a one-lane road. Electricity and telephones reached the island in 1946
and the post office in 1947.

More than a dozen coal
mines and five towns flourished in this area after coal was discovered in the 1850s. The
last mine closed soon after the turn of the century, but the area had a brief commercial rebirth
from the 1920s through 1940s in the mining of silica sand used for glass making and metal
casting. Since then, it has been used as rangeland, and acquisition of parkland began in
1973.

In 1829, Felipe Briones built a home near
what is now the Bear Creek Staging Area, cultivating the
land and raising cattle. Briones was killed in 1840, and in 1842 his widow, Maria Manuela
Valencia Briones, petitioned Governor Alvarado for a grant to the land the family had
occupied. The grant, covering three square leagues, was issued in June 1842, legally
creating Rancho Boca de la Cañada del Pinole ("ranch at the mouth of Pinole Canyon"),
popularly known as Rancho San Felipe. The title was contested when California achieved
statehood, but was upheld by the U.S. Supreme Court in 1860. After that, much of the
rancho was purchased by Simon and Elias Blum. Challenges to the boundary survey continued,
and it was not until 1878 that a patent to the 13,316.26-acre rancho was issued. Much of
this land is now included in Briones Regional Park.

This Italianate Victorian house on the southwest shore of Lake Merritt in Oakland was built in 1876, possibly as part of
Samuel Merritt's real estate speculation in the area. It was occupied by five different families
(Camrons, Hewes, Seatons, Stanfords, Wrights) until 1907, when Oakland purchased it as
headquarters for the Oakland Public Museum (now the Oakland Museum of California). After the new museum
was built in 1969, part of the house was restored to the period around 1880 when the David Hewes
family occupied it (some space is rented to nonprofit organizations for offices). During hours
when the house is open, an educational historical program is offered to the public. It is the
only remaining example of the luxury houses that once surrounded the lake, with lawns stretching
down to private boathouses on the shore.

Before shipping channels were dredged

it a natural site for wharfs where deep-water ships could load and unload. Thus a variety

(see entries for individual towns and cities).

The original observatory
was built in 1883 by Anthony Chabot. It was given to the Oakland school system with the
condition that it be forever free to the public and the public schools. The original observatory
was in downtown Oakland; the current observatory was opened in 1929. Because it sits in the
Hayward Fault zone, a 1977 law bans its use by school classes. In 1989 plans were approved for a
new observatory and science center in Joaquin Miller Park, where the telescopes and planetarium
as well as other facilities will open to school classes and the public in 1999. See Chabot Observatory & Science Center.

The gardens were
initially planted in 1978 as a source for fresh herbs, fruits, and vegetables for Virginia
Mudd's new Mudds Restaurant (next door). Her goal was to advance the art of growing, preparing
and serving fresh wholesome food - to show the direct connection between the garden or farm and
the dishes served in the dining room. In 1990 Virginia Mudd sold the restaurant and moved to New
Mexico. The city of San Ramon purchased the 7 acres of gardens along San Ramon Creek as a park,
maintained by the nonprofit Crow Canyon Institute. The restaurant was purchased by its general
manager. The Institute provides ecological classes, a summer day-camp program, and community
gardens. It grows food for the Contra Costa Food Bank. Much more information is provided on the
website.

On the southwest shore
of Alameda. Alameda's sandy beaches were popular resorts before 1880 (the beaches were much more
extensive before landfill altered the currents - the present beach was actually created
artificially on landfill). The most famous resort was Neptune
Beach, created in 1916 at the end of Webster St, served by the streetcar line from Oakland.
The resort went bankrupt in 1939, and the military purchased the land, operating a training
facility for maritime officers centered at Oyster Bay (now Crab Cove).
In 1959, California obtained the land and made it a State Park. It was later named for Robert W.
Crown, a deceased state Assemblymember. The park is operated for the state by the East Bay Regional Park District. The beach extends from Crab Cove at the
northwest to the Elsie Roemer Bird Sanctuary at
the southeast. Access from McKay Ave, Westline Dr, and Shoreline Dr. No fee.

Valley of Sausal Creek in the Oakland

Hugh Dimond purchased this land in 1867. After making a fortune in the
mercantile and liquor trades during the Gold Rush, he retired to the valley in 1877, building a
home in what is now lower Dimond Park (this house burned in 1913). He
died in 1896. The same year, his son Dennis Dimond moved the adobe bricks from the original Luis
Peralta home to the canyon, using them to build a small cottage. The property was sold to the
city of Oakland in 1917. For years, the adobe cottage was used as a Boy Scout headquarters.
See Dimond Park.

area. The reservoir and lagoon were created in 1964 by the Alameda Flood Control and Water
Conservation District through the damming of San Lorenzo
Creek.
DeLorme
Northern California p.105 D-5 (as "San Francisco Bay National Wildlife
Refuge"). This refuge has wetlands around much of the South Bay and may eventually include
the wetland restoration of most of the present salt evaporation ponds. The Visitor Center is in
Fremont (Refuge Headquarters and a native plant nursery also are located here), and the
Environmental Education Center is in Alviso. The refuge encompasses over 18,000 acres of
estuarine habitat, including uplands, open water, mudflats, salt ponds, and salt marshes. It is
a major area on the Pacific Flyway for mitratory waterfowl and shorebirds, as well as providing
habitat for endangered California Clapper Rail, California Least Tern, and salt marsh harvest
mouse. Brown Pelicans, Peregrine Falcons, harbor seals and a variety of saltwater fishes also
benefit from the refuge.

The San Francisco Bay Wildlife
Society is a nonprofit organization established in 1987 to promote public awareness and
appreciation of San Francisco Bay and to raise funds for education and outreach programs at
several refuges.
The refuge was founded in 1972 as the San Francisco Bay National Wildlife
Refuge. The name of Representative Don Edwards, who played a major role in establishing
the refuge, was added to the official title after his death. This was the first refuge in the
nation located in an urban area.

The original automobile bridge between Dumbarton Point in Fremont
and Ravenswood Point in Menlo Park was opened in January 1927. It was the first vehicle bridge
crossing San Francisco Bay (only 1.2 miles over water at this point). It was a low-level bridge
with a lift span. In December 1984 it was replaced by a new high-level bridge carrying three
lanes of traffic in each direction. The bridge is located within the Don Edwards San Francisco Bay
National Wildlife Refuge. A walkway above the toll booths connects the refuge with Coyote Hills Regional Park to the north via hiking
trails. There is also a railroad bridge south of the highway bridge, but it went out of use in
1982. There is talk of restoring rail service across the bridge as part of a new commuter rail
service.
DeLorme Northern
California p.115 A-5.
Point in Fremont on the eastern shoreline of
southern San Francisco Bay, where the shoreline turns
eastward toward Mowry Slough. With Ravenswood Point on the
western shoreline, Dumbarton Point forms the narrowest spot in the bay. The first Dumbarton Bridge across the bay here was built in 1927. A Scots
investor, J Barr Robertson, obtained ownership of a townsite near Jarvis Landing. He named the point after Dumbarton Point
in Scotland (where the River Clyde enters the North Sea), and called the townsite Newark after
the castle on Scotland's Dumbarton Point. In 1875 work was begun on a railroad from Dumbarton
Point through the townsite, but the project never got past initial grading. The next year the
project was bought out (see Newark) and became part of the South Pacific Coast Railroad, a
narrow gauge railroad from Dumbarton Point to Santa Cruz (later extended north to Alameda and
ferry connections to San Francisco).

Alexander Dunsmuir came to the Bay Area in 1878 to
oversee the family business here (his father was a wealthy coal baron in British Columbia). He
bought a large estate in the East Bay Hills, with rolling hills, farms, and fruit orchards. He
built an elegant mansion in 1899 as a wedding gift for his fiancee Josephine, but Alexander died
in New York on their honeymoon and Josephine lived alone in the new house until she died in
1901. The estate was purchased in 1906 as a summer home by I W Hellman Jr, a Wells Fargo
Bank executive. The Hellmans called it Oakvale Park. The mansion was remodeled and enlarged in
1913. Mr Hellman died in 1920, but Mrs Hellman lived there until the late 1950s. In the early
1960s, Oakland purchased the estate, intending to create a conference center. When these plans
did not work out, a nonprofit organization was created to preserve and restore the estate, which
was owned by the city and jointly operated by the city and the nonprofit group. In June 1989,
the nonprofit Dunsmuir House and Gardens Inc was given full responsibility for operating the
50-acre estate as an educational, historical, cultural, and horticultural resource.

Marsh in Coyote Hills Regional Park that purifies stormdrain
runoff. The acronym stands for Demonstration Urban Stormwater Treatment. The marsh was
constructed in the early 1980s by the Association of Bay Area Governments (ABAG) as a model to
study the effectiveness of using wetlands to remove pollutants from urban runoff before allowing
it to flow into the Bay. Today the marsh is maintained by the Alameda County Flood Control and
Water Conservation District, and it remains one of the few examples of successful stormwater
treatment projects in the world.

An area of restored saltwater marsh at the southeast end of Crown Memorial State Beach in Alameda. There is no
entrance to the marsh area, but there is good viewing from the sidewalk along Shoreline Dr and
from a viewing platform near Broadway. From Broadway and Shoreline Dr, take a dirt trail between
the marsh and the backyards of houses (this is a public path) to another viewing platform
that overlooks a sizeable mudflat area. A wide variety of shorebirds and waterfowl can be
observed in the sanctuary, including the endangered California Clapper Rail. Named for Elsie B
Roemer, a birder and environmentalist who played a major role in getting some wetlands
restored along the Alameda and Oakland shoreline. Administered by Crab Cove Visitor Center.

In 1998, the
East Bay Regional Park District restored a large area of landfill southeast
of Arrowhead Marsh in Martin Luther King Jr Regional
Shoreline to saltwater marsh. This wetland was originally filled for airport warehouses that
never were built. A lawsuit by the Audubon Society and others eventually forced the airport to
pay for this restoration in mitigation of some of its damages to the environment. With no new
name assigned to this newly restored marsh in late 1998, Joseph Morlan suggested using this name
that Elsie Roemer had applied to it before it was
filled.

Paved road leading
from Calaveras Rd to Visitor Center and Alameda Grove in Sunol Regional Wilderness. The unpaved extension of
this road to Camp Ohlone is now known as Camp Ohlone Rd. Pat and Mary Ann Geary settled in 1865
on a quarter-section of land that they had purchased from the US Government. Their cabin was on
what is now called Indian Joe Creek, about 0.5 mile
upstream from Alameda Creek. After their 10 surviving
children were grown, the Gearys moved into the cabin now used as Wilderness headquarters, which
had been built (along with the Old Green Barn) by their
eldest son Maurice. During the 1930s, the Geary ranch was purchased (along with others) by
Willis Brinker, whose large ranch became Sunol Regional Wilderness after he died fighting a fire
here in 1959.

Former basketball
facility at University of California - Berkeley. In 1878,
Oakland financier A. K. P. Harmon donated $15,000 for a combined auditorium/gymnasium building
at UC. Opened in January 1879, the octagonal wooden building was the largest auditorium on the
campus for many years, and it was extensively remodeled several times. In 1933, a new Men's
Gymnasium was built off Bancroft Way near Dana St, and in 1959 it was renamed Harmon Gymnasium.
Although a state-of-the-art facility at its opening, Harmon by the 1980s was regarded as a tiny
and poorly equipped college basketball facility, though its close seating and aggressive fans
made it a significant asset to Cal's basketball teams. In 1998, Harmon was torn down and
replaced by the new Haas Pavilion. For more detailed history, see http://www.calbears.com/trads/cal-

William Hayward from Massachusetts was one of
the first Americans to settle on Rancho San Lorenzo. He
arrived in 1851, was informed by Guillermo Castro that he was trespassing, and then worked out
an agreement by which he remained and became good friends with Castro. In 1852 he built a hotel
north of the present intersection of A St & Mission Blvd, and a boat landing at the foot of
the present W Winton Ave for ferrying passengers and goods to and from San Francisco.

Private coeducational
college-preparatory K-12 school in Oakland. The Anna Head School was founded in 1887 by the
ninth woman to graduate from the University of California and
was located at 2538 Channing Way, just south of the UC Berkeley campus. (Anna Head created the
school with money given to her by her mother Eliza Head, from the proceeds of selling the school
she had founded in Oakland in the 1860s to teach young ladies the finer points of English and
French.) The Anna Head School became a very prestigious college-preparatory institution for
women, taking both boarding and day students. When Anna Head retired in 1909, she sold the
school to a teacher, Mary E. Wilson. In 1938, it was sold to Mr. & Mrs. T. R. Hyde, and in
1950 to Mr. & Mrs. Daniel Dewey. In 1955, the University of California acquired the campus
by eminent domain for its own programs. Because the Deweys could not afford to relocate, a new
corporation was created to run the school, and a new location was found in the Oakland Hills.
The move was completed in 1964, with the school becoming only a day school. In 1971, the
corporation created a companion school for boys, the Royce School (named for Anna Head's
brother-in-law, Josiah Royce, Harvard professor and philosopher). In the fall of 1979, the
schools were combined to form a coeducational K-12 institution, divided into the Lower School
(K-5), the Middle School (6-8), and the Upper School (9-12).

Thomas 1997 p.650 G-4 (as "College of the Holy
Names").
An independent, coeducational, Catholic college with a strong liberal-arts
undergraduate program, significant graduate and professional programs, and a thriving college
for adult learners. Founded as the Convent of Our Lady of the Sacred Heart on the western shore
of Lake Merritt in 1868 by six Sisters of the Holy Names (a teaching order founded to provide
education to the poor) who came to California from Montreal. By 1880 the school was empowered by
California to grant higher degrees. Its primary purpose at that time was to train teachers for
Catholic schools, and only Sisters of the order were given college-level education. In 1908, the
name was changed to Convent and College of the Holy Names, and in 1916 secular students were
admitted for the first time. In 1917 the Holy Names Junior College was inaugurated; the senior
college officially opened in 1925, with the first B.A. awarded to a secular student in 1926. In
1955, the Graduate Division was established, and men were formally admitted for the first time.
In 1957, the college moved to its present location in the Oakland Hills (the Kaiser Center was
then built on its former grounds, and some plantings from the Convent garden still survive in
the public garden on top of the Kaiser Center parking garage). In 1971, the entire college
officially became coed and the name was formally changed to Holy Names College.

On the east side of the Berkeley Hills between Oakland and Orinda, this preserve
contains a relic plant association found only in certain areas along California's coast where
ideal soil and climatic conditions exist. The plants originated in the distant past along
the southern coast of California when the climate was more moist and tempered by the cool
coastal fog. Today, similar vegetation is found on the islands off the Santa Barbara coast
and in isolated pockets on the mainland coast from Point Conception to Montara Mountain.

At the time EBMUD built its Lafayette Aqueduct from the Sierra Nevada, this reservoir was
created (by damming Lafayette Creek) to store aqueduct water for
emergency use if the aqueduct supply should be interrupted. Later, land under the dam was
discovered to be unstable, and the dam was lowered and widened. The reservoir is unusual
in that its water level remains almost constant at 456 ft elevation so long as the aqueduct is
functioning.

Reservoir created in 1875 by Anthony Chabot's damming of San Leandro Creek. Employing techniques he learned as a
hydraulic engineer in the gold fields, Chabot used water cannons to wash huge quantities of
earth from surrounding hillsides into the creekbed. Chinese laborers helped smooth the dam, and
200 wild horses were driven back and forth to tamp down the earth. Originally called San Leandro
Reservoir (hence the name of the Upper San Leandro
Reservoir), it today is part of the East Bay Municipal Utility
District, but is saved for emergency water supply. The stable shoreline provides a much
richer ecosystem than is present in most reservoirs. The reservoir was leased to the East Bay Regional Park District in 1966 and is now a part of Chabot Regional Park.

In 1869, Oakland Mayor
Samuel Merritt completed a dam and bridge across San Antonio
Slough at 12th St, replacing the earlier toll bridge. Merritt had for about 15 years been
buying up the marshy land around the slough, so he did very well on his real estate investment.
Although officially named Lake Peralta, the lake soon became popularly known as Merritt's Lake,
later Lake Merritt, and the name eventually became the official one. The lake soon was
surrounded by expensive houses (after the sewage problem was solved), but the city purchased the
land gradually over the years and established a belt of parkland all around the lake (though it
is very narrow in many places). The slough south of the dam has been filled except for a narrow
channel, and it has been necessary to add pumps to prevent flooding after heavy rains. The lake
still is subject to tidal action, and its water varies from saltwater to about half freshwater
depending upon the amount of recent rain (and subsequent inflow from storm drains). The
"Necklace of Lights" around the lake was created in the 1930s, then discontinued in 1942 as a
wartime economy and blackout measure. Over the years, the physical system was badly
deteriorated. In 1988 the Necklace of Lights was restored and continues to provide a lovely
spectacle each night. Despite the attractive water and a nice beach in Sunny Cove, swimming in Lake Merritt has been outlawed from the
beginning, primarily because of pollution.

Oakland city park between
10th St and Hwy 880, along the channel between Lake Merritt and Oakland Inner Harbor, though the campus of Laney College.
Just
after Lake Merritt was created in 1869, Samuel Merritt convinced the
California legislature to outlaw hunting on and around the lake, making it the first waterfowl
refuge in the United States (the first national park, at Yellowstone, was not created until
1872). Rumor has it that Merritt was not so much concerned about the welfare of the waterfowl as
he was about the value of his property development around the lake, where rich residents
objected to having poor people from the town hunting dinner in their backyards. In 1909, the
city of Oakland completed its acquisition of land all around the lake and began its development
of Lakeside Park. In 1915, some oil-soaked birds were brought in
from the estuary needing special care, and a program of daily bird feedings was begun at the
lake to encourage ducks to stay in the relatively safe waters of the lake (the daily feedings
continue to this day). Sometime after this, the city of Oakland hired Paul Covell as a
naturalist, and responsibility for the refuge was transferred from the state to the city. The
refuge continues to be administered by city naturalists based in the Rotary Nature Center near Bellevue Ave & Perkins St.

Oakland city park built on filled marshland between the northeastern arm of Lake Merritt and Hwy 580. The Pergola (sometimes called El Embarcadero)
on the lakeshore was built in 1907 on the site of an earlier small wharf (Castro's Landing) that
was used by early settlers from San Francisco who brought shallow boats into the slough to trade
with the Mexicans for hides, tallow, and lumber. This is the area where Pleasant Valley Creek and Indian Gulch (Trestle Glen
Creek) once flowed into San Antonio Slough. The
Lakeview Branch Library is located in the park.

acres of Lakeside Park include most of Adams Point, purchased
by the city in 1909 from Edson Adams (one of the three founders of Oakland). Adams never built a
home on this land, and until the lake was dammed it was a popular picnic spot for people from
San Francisco as well as the East Bay (easily reached by boat in those days). The area above
Grand Ave was also owned by Adams and was developed in the early 1900s.

laboratory of Ernest O Lawrence, who built the first
cyclotron at UC Berkeley in 1931. By the early 1940s, the UC Radiation Laboratory ("Rad Lab")
was a major center for basic physics research with particle accelerators. During World War II,
the laboratory was expanded greatly on a hillside campus east of the main UC Berkeley campus,
playing a major role in the development of nuclear weapons. Today it engages in a wide range of
research and educational activities, and nuclear weapons work supposedly has been moved to other
locations.

Created by the Atomic
Energy Commission in 1952 as the Livermore branch of the University of California Radiation
Laboratory. Ernest Lawrence, founder of the Berkeley lab, urged the AEC to create the Livermore
facility to diversify the nation's nuclear weapons research and create competition between the
staffs of the two laboratories. Lawrence chose Edward Teller, a physicist at the Los Alamos
nuclear weapons lab, to oversee creation of the new facility, and later chose Herbert York (only
3 years out of grad school) to head the Livermore lab. Although owned by the federal government,
the lab has always been operated by the University of California -
Berkeley. The lab originally had four major divisions: a program in magnetic fusion (Project
Sherwood), a program in testing and evaluating nuclear weapons, a program in thermonuclear
weapons (the "hydrogen bomb"), and a program in basic physics. Lawrence emphasized teamwork
among a variety of scientific and engineering disciplines, aimed at accomplishing a particular
mission. Over subsequent years, the lab has diversified into a wide range of research including
laser fusion, innovative types of "power plants," biomedicine, and environmental science.

McNabney Marsh and the Mt. View
Sanitary District are adjacent to I-680 just before the Benicia Bridge. Note that most know the
marsh by the name Shell but it has been renamed after Al McNabney who worked passionately for
over 20 years to protect places such as this marsh before passing away on May 1, 1998. You would
do well to occasionally stop and think of Al and others like him whenever you are birding in a
protected area.
To reach the sanitary district and the south end of McNabney Marsh exit
I-680 in Martinez at Arthur Rd. Take the ramp over the freeway and turn right onto Arthur. Go
under the freeway and follow the road as it bears left. Go to the end and turn left through the
gate. Note that the gate is only open until 4 pm and only on weekdays.
To reach the north
end of the marsh backtrack to I-680 and go north. Exit at Marina Vista and go east. Turn right
again on Waterbird Way and pull off up the hill for a good view of the marsh. The sun is brutal
here by noon so get here in the morning.

In 1795, a site for a new
mission was recommended at the northwest base of what is now called Mission Peak, overlooking extensive farmable lands with Alameda Creek providing a year-round water supply, and close to
the route inland to the Central Valley through what is now Livermore. Mission San José
was founded in June 1797, dedicated to the work of Christianizing the Native Americans.
Extensive farmlands and herds of cattle were tended by Indian converts. Many of those who tried
to run away were killed, and many of the Indians died of European diseases. The mission was a
center for the social life of the East Bay ranchos, a wayside station for travelers, and an
important trading post. Most sources list the full name of the mission as Mission San
José de Guadalupe, but this name apparently came only from a sign erected on the roof of
the mission in the early 1900s. The official name used at the founding was La Misión del
Gloriosisimo Patriarch San José, but it was always known simply as Mission San
José. (The only connection between the mission and the pueblo of San José 13 miles
to the south is that both were dedicated to Saint Joseph.) After Mexico became independent from
Spain in 1834, the missions were secularized. Half of the mission property was supposed to go to
the Indians and the other half to be handled by secular administrators. In fact, most of the
lands soon passed into private non-Indian hands. Only a few scattered tiny rancherias remained
in Indian hands. Most of the Mission San José lands were acquired by Elias Lyman Beard,
whose homestead at the mission site is now a Dominican convent. The mission buildings were
largely destroyed in the earthquake of 1868. The town of Mission San José joined with
Centerville, Irvington, Niles, and Warm Springs in 1956 to form the city of Fremont.

Officially known as the Oakland California Temple of the Church of Jesus Christ of
Latter-day Saints. Part of a complex known as Temple Hill,
located on Lincoln Ave not far southwest of Hwy 13. The temple (lighted at night) is a prominent
landmark in the Oakland Hills. The Mormons were the second
Christian church (after the Catholics) to establish a regular pattern of services in Alameda
County. Their 1850 building in Centerville (now part of Fremont) was later shared with
Presbyterians and Methodists. Massive grading of the hillside to prepare a site for the Temple
began in 1955; the Temple was dedicated in 1964.

Beach resort
near Central Ave & Webster St in Alameda, created in 1916 on the site of an earlier large

pavilion, a stadium seating 8,000, a boardwalk lit by electricity, amusement park rides and
concessions, and two large saltwater swimming pools. The park was a training site for many
famous boxers. Ideally located for streetcar access, the park suffered when people began to use
the automobile as their primary transport for recreation. It went bankrupt in 1939, and the
military purchased the land in 1942. The area is now known as Crown Memorial State Beach (although the present
beach is much smaller than the wide beaches that existed before landfill changed the pattern of
tidal flows and currents).

California p.116 A-1 (as "Camp Ohlone Regional Park"). Over 9,000 acres of
grassy ridges in southern Alameda County accessible only by hiking/equestrian trails, noted for
its profuse wildflower displays and abundant wildlife. Rose Peak
is only 32 ft lower than Mt. Diablo. To reach the Wilderness,
you must hike or ride horseback about 10 miles from either Sunol Regional Wilderness or Del Valle Regional Park along the Ohlone Wilderness Regional Trail. The Wilderness is
undeveloped except for campsites and trails.

District. http://www.ebparks.org/parks/ohlone.htm
Hiking/equestrian trail extending 28 miles from Mission Peak Regional Preserve in Fremont
through Sunol Regional Wilderness and Ohlone Regional Wilderness to Del Valle Regional Park near Livermore. This trail
provides the only public access to Ohlone Wilderness. Because it passes through San Francisco
Water District lands between regional parks, a permit is required to travel these portions of
the trail (it is available for a fee through EBRPD).

An extensive landfill (garbage dump) southeast of Oakland
International Airport, now being reclaimed as parkland. There have been serious leakage
problems, with disputes between the East Bay Regional Park District and the former owner of the
landfill about who is responsible for the cleanup, so little development has yet been done here.
There is a self-guided nature loop trail (with discussion of recycling and garbage treatment as
well as wildlife), and also a part of the Bay Trail around the
edge of the landfill. Picnic facilities are available for reservation. The name refers to the
extensive oyster industry that once flourished along San
Francisco Bay from Alameda south to Hayward. Landfill, pollution, and creation of salt ponds
eliminated the oyster beds.

Home of the Patterson family on their ranch. Now restored in Ardenwood Regional Preserve and used for various
activities recreating Victorian life. George Washington Patterson came to California in
the gold rush. With his family, he settled in the area that is now northwestern Fremont in 1854,
draining and clearing wetlands and shorelands. The house was built in 1856 as the centerpiece of
what became a 3,000-acre farm called Ardenwood (presumably a Shakespearean reference). The house
was expanded in 1880. The present Ardenwood Preserve includes only 205 acres of the ranch, which
extended into the present Coyote Hills Regional
Park. Most of the land was subdivided.

Originates in the hills east of San Jose and flows generally westward
through Alum Rock Park and Penitencia Creek County Park before being diverted into Coyote Creek
where Berryessa Rd crosses it. This portion of the creek is known as Upper Penitencia Creek.
Much of the creek's course through San Jose has been buried in storm drains. Lower Penitencia
Creek emerges near E Capitol Ave at the Milpitas border and flows briefly westward then
northward and into Coyote Creek just south of the Alameda
County border. Most of the course of Lower Penitencia Creek has been altered in storm channels.
The name is said to come from an old adobe house near the creek that was used for confessions.

Most of the
block in Berkeley bounded by Telegraph Ave, Dwight Way, Bowditch St, and Haste St (except for
the businesses along Telegraph Ave). In 1967, the University
of California - Berkeley purchased this land for future use as playing fields and parking
lots. After the longtime residents moved out, most of the houses were rented to UC
students, many becoming communal households. During finals week in 1968, the renters were
evicted and the houses were torn down. There were charges that the University was acting
primarily because many student activists lived in the block, an idea that seemed to be confirmed
when UC left the lot vacant and unimproved for the next year. UC claimed that the land was
now slated for new student dormitories, but in the meantime it was being used as an unofficial
dirt parking lot. In April 1969, some people declared the lot to be a "People's Park" and
began planting flowers and vegetables and creating public facilities there. Various public
planning meetings were held, and many people from students to older residents participated in
creating the park. The University responded early on May 15 by erecting a chainlink fence
around the lot and destroying the park "improvements." A rally at Sproul Plaza on the UC
campus ended with a crowd storming down Telegraph Ave to the park; police from several local
jurisdictions fired teargas and buckshot into the crowd. Dozens were injured and one man
watching from a rooftop was killed by police buckshot (they claimed that he had thrown a brick
at them). Governor Ronald Reagan banned all public assemblies in Berkeley, and on May 17
the California National Guard was sent into Berkeley to maintain order, establishing their
headquarters behind the chainlink fence on People's Park. On May 20, a National Guard
helicopter dropped a chemical agent on a demonstration in Sproul Plaza. Eventually, the
University and the city of Berkeley reached an agreement to allow the park to exist. The
struggle has continued off and on over the years, with sporadic UC attempts to develop the site
generally defeated, although volleyball courts have been built on the site, and various
"people's" improvements such as a free food distribution center have been ejected.

Created in
November 1963 by a vote of the residents of Alameda, Albany, Berkeley, Emeryville, Oakland, and
Piedmont, officially coming into existence in July 1964. The name was chosen because the cities
of the district are all located on the 1820 land grant of Luis Maria Peralta. It took over the
Laney and Merritt
campuses of the former Oakland City College. The new
College of Alameda campus was opened in June 1970. Vista College has had a troubled existence but is currently
operating in Berkeley.

The port facilities on Suisun Bay for Concord Naval Weapons Station (otherwise known
as United States Naval Weapons Station Concord or United States Naval Magazine).
In 1852 Oakland's first mayor, Horace W. Carpentier, was given title to all of the waterfront
property in return for building a wharf at the foot of Broadway and a public school. Carpentier
got the land conveyed to a new Oakland Waterfront Company, which gave control of it to Central
Pacific Railroad to entice the railroad to locate its western terminus in Oakland. Carpentier
ended up with a seat on the board of the railroad. Southern Pacific later took over the holdings
of Central Pacific. These highly suspicious dealings were the subject of litigation for decades.
Finally, in 1909, the railroad gave the land back to the city in return for a 50-year lease. In
hopes of preventing future scandals, a semi-independent body called the Port of Oakland was set
up to manage and develop the waterfront property.

Tunnel carrying

facilities for large ships. At the time, it was the largest tunnel of its type in the world. It
is named after its chief engineer. Made one-way after the Webster Street Tube was added in 1963.

Summer home of Christopher Augustine Buckley Sr, the "Blind Boss" of
San Francisco politics. A 100-acre country vineyard with house (built 1885-91), cottage house,
and tank house. Buckley used this as a summer home until 1920. In 1931, it was purchased by the
Catholic order the Redemptorists (officially the Congregation of the Most Holy Redeemer),
renamed Villa San Clemente (in honor of one of the order's founders, Sant Clement Hofbauer) and
used as a religious retreat until 1965. In 1968, a developer purchased the property, built homes
on two-thirds of the land, and gave the rest to the city of Livermore to be preserved as a
historic site. The Park District took over administration of the site, restoring the main house
and tank house in 1978 and the cottage house in 1986. Free public tours are lead by costumed
docents on the second Sunday of each month. At other times, the house and grounds can be rented
for weddings.

When European ships sailed into San Francisco Bay in the early nineteenth
century, their captains navigated around the treacherous submerged rocks and shallows of the Bay
by sighting on tall redwood trees atop the East Bay Hills. Between 1840 and 1860, this redwood
forest was logged to provide lumber for the new towns of the Bay Area. (When the southern part
of Contra Costa County was split off to form Alameda County in 1853, the valuable redwood forest
was split evenly between the two counties.) The second-growth trees today reach heights of up to
150 feet.
