Harbor Park Bird Photos


Ross' Goose

Here is a collection of pictures showing some of the incredible bird diversity, and beauty, one can find at the site. With few exceptions these are species which are regularly seen and easily found at the park. I can see no reason why every school kid in L.A. hasn't seen most of these incredible animals in person, except that it has not been considered important or of value. It ain't ballsports.

In order to reduce download times, they are broken into smaller groups, usually of related types, e.g. "gulls," or "ducks." Almost all of the pictures were taken at KMHRP. Sometimes pictures from other local sites are used, when for instance my Shrike photo from Madrona Marsh scanned better, or isn't a slide, etc.,. All represent the birds and habitats found at KMHRP. Over 80% were actually taken in KMHRP, and sometimes "not-my-best-shot" was used to keep as many as possible from KMHRP.

Over 75 species are shown so far, and more will be coming soon. Some have "multiple poses" to show them sitting, and in flight. Others have multiple plumages, usually adults and immatures, or males and females.

Besides showing the incredible beauty of the birds at KMHRP, part of the desire is to help a non-birder be able to identify a bird they saw at the park. So, most shown are common species, easily seen at KMHRP. Only a few rare birds are shown.
