Hi All,
We drove south into California today; our first stop was Castle Rock National Wildlife Refuge. We set up the scope and looked at birds on an offshore rock, just like we do on days we work ;-).
Castle Rock is further offshore so we couldn't see the auklets we knew were there.
It is a beautiful rock and we saw Stellar and California sea lions and elephant seals.
The murre colony was enormous. The sign said 150,000 birds.
Next we drove to Klamath River Overlook where gray whales had been seen every day this week. We got the gray part as the fog rolled in but no whales. There really is ocean down there.
This redwood is known as "Big Tree"
The groves of coastal redwoods are as magnificent as they are impossible to photograph.
The forest was carpeted with ferns
Our last stop was a beach walk at Gold Bluff Beach. This, of course, is Gold Bluff.
Love
Sandy & Carl
