Fairview Cemetery

This cemetery contains dense underbrush, both coniferous and deciduous, along a manmade watercourse. Mountain Bluebirds can be seen in the field along the entrance road, and mule deer can be numerous in the area.  Note, there is a plethora of bird species from American Robin and Pine Siskin, to the more rare occurences like the Northern Parula and Great Horned Owl.7.5.23
