#TenMinMerlin back home in Yolo County, CA this morning. I don’t think there was a Marsh Wren, maybe a House Wren or goldfinch and junco mashups.

I find the news very frightening right now, but one thing that helps me is noticing the birds all around me Do you want a reason to spend 10 minutes a day noticing your local birds? Then join me for this spring’s #TenMinMerlin, using the (free) app Merlin to notice birds. No experience needed! 1/5

Western Dog Tick, Dermacentor similis, picked up on a hike to Sunshine Beach in Point Reyes and ID’ed with the help of iNaturalist. I was admiring the pattern on its back, though wasn’t thrilled to find it on my bootlace.

Estero trail to Sunshine Beach in Point Reyes National Seashore, on my July 4th hike this year. I read on the NPS website that Sunset Beach and Sunshine Beach are named for subdivisions a former owner of the Home Ranch wanted to build. Now almost all of the remaining ranches are closing.
