Alameda / Martin Luther King, Jr. Regional Shoreline

More Odds and Ends



April is a great month for wildflowers.  California's wildflower shows can be extraordinary.  Each year is the luck of the draw on any given year.  The last few years haven't been that great, this year included.  Still, even the bad years have their spots and moments.

There are usually a lot of rabbits at the shoreline, both brush rabbits and jackrabbits.  The jackrabbits are a bit nutty.  The brush rabbits are always skittish.  The jackrabbits are less so.  They're brave until suddenly they're not, then they run like bananas for a couple of seconds, then they're rave again.  Goofballs.

I saw a couple of pelicans in April.  The first of the year.  Loves me some pelicans.
