Description

This is an early morning view of the Los Angeles River, an urban wildlife habitat.

The LA River has been undergoing an extensive rehabilitation in an attempt to return it and its wildlife to the original glory. The Army Corps of Engineers, with support from the Federal government, the city of Los Angeles and the state of California, has been developing an extensive plan to transform two segments of the river stretching 11 miles in length into green space for natural habitats for wildlife by restoring wetlands that have been lost to urban sprawl. Friends of Los Angeles River (FoLAR) has also led the way to River’s rehabilitation.

This picture shows one segment of the habitat, with a Great Blue Heron (Ardea herodias) looking for breakfast in early morning light a few years ago. What is amazing about the habitat is the variety of plants, grasses and trees, so many shades of green, and many tiny yellow wildflowers!

As in some of my LA River photos, the dominant aspect is the habitat, with the wildlife occupying a relatively small part of the view.
