The San Francisco Giants sponsored a large tree planting (as part of Arbor day) in the triangle at Cesar Chavez Street and Precita Avenue. This nice tree is a lovely addition to the neighborhood, and beautifies an otherwise drab corner.

One of the beloved owls of Bernal Hill has been found dead. For some time residents of the area, particularly children, have journeyed to observe the owls. An owl organization is determining the cause of death and we will provide information when we receive it.

Some pictures of the owls are here (shot by Mary Ann Goldstein for Bernalhill.com)
