See my FLICKR account for more albums of photos taken at this location throughout the last several years.

The cemetery is a small one, so park outside the fence when you arrive.  There are gravel paths inside wide enough for a car, but they all dead-end and are meant for use by the groundskeepers only.

The grounds are easy to walk, and the place is visited by a variety of birds including Mourning Doves, Collared Doves, Brewer’s Blackbirds, House Finches, Starlings, and others.  Look for the Vermilion Flycatcher between July and November each year.
