Eastview Park, an urban "dog park" here in San Pedro, right behind a Coco's restaurant off a main avenue. A group of us "discovered" Western Bluebirds here, so we we'll be putting up Bluebird nest boxes to encourage them to stay. This scene of the park (the Bluebirds "hang around" in the trees near the playground) was taken on January 5, 2011, right after a storm dumped rain and snow on the Southland. That's Mount Baldy in the center background.
