Around 7:30 am I headed over to the Effie Yeaw Nature Preserve for a walk. It was a very chilly 31°when I got there, and there were some areas where everything was covered with a heavy frost. I was glad my heavier coat was in the back seat of the car! There were only a […]
Around 7:30 am I headed out to the Effie Yeaw Nature Preserve for my walk. It was about 37° at the river when I got there and warmed up to the 50’s by the time I got back home. CLICK HERE for the full album of photos. The cold seemed to keep a lot of […]
It was chilly and overcast for most of the day, but not much in the way of rain. I got up around 7:00 am, right around the same time Lissa got up and let her dogs out for their morning potty. I got Sergeant Margie outside and fed him his breakfast. I had a small […]
I got up around 6:30 this morning, and decided I’d try going out to the Sacramento and Colusa National Wildlife Refuges.

Around 7:15 am I went over to the Effie Yeaw Nature Preserve again for a walk. When I first walked in, I saw a small group of deer collected behind the classroom facility across from the nature center. There was one of the 3-pointer bucks back there, rubbing his head against some of the scrub […]

I got around 6:30 am and headed over to the Effie Yeaw Nature Preserve. It was a little foggy and about 49º at the preserve when I got there but went up to about 77º by the afternoon. The first thing I saw when I got into the preserve was a large 3-pointer buck. He […]
Up at 6:45 am. I headed out to the American River Bend Park to meet some of my naturalist students for a hike and to see the Great Horned Owl nest there. The weather was perfect, and I had seven students show up. Our pace was slow, and it was great having so many sets […]
