No More Killdeer In South Berkeley/north Oakland
Personal memory by Cate de Heer
2015 • Berkeley, CA, USA
When I moved to my north Oakland neighborhood in 2013, a few blocks away on the Berkeley border, behind the Marchant building, there was a weedy patch of land next to a bike path. I used to see and hear a killdeer there. The mockingbirds behind my house used to mimic it. I haven't seen or heard a killdeer since the city began a project to landscape the patch with grass and trees and shrubs.
