La Mesa Dam Nature Park

Over the next two months or so (November to December 2005), I'll concentrate my birding activities in photo-documenting wild birds at the La Mesa Dam Nature Park. I wish I'd be fortunate to capture at least half of the around 70 bird species found in this nature preserve. This gallery is the repository of these bird pics.
