A GLOROUS AUTUMN IN MONTANA

Two weeks ago my husband Dave and I left Santa Barbara to drive to Montana for our annual Fall visit. We almost delayed our trip for we had heard that it was hot, dry, and very smoky there due to the numerous wildfires in Oregon, Washington, and Montana. Since this would be the only time […]Read Post ›

Tule Elk (Cervus Canadensis nanodes)

The Tule Elk is the smallest of three races of Elk that live in California. There was a time around the 1700’s that it was estimated about 500,000 of these elk lived in this State.

We know about many species of plants and animals that lived in Southern California because of the […]Read Post ›

SEA OTTER (Enhydra lutris)

Along the coast of California, one of the most appealing sights is to watch a raft of Sea Otters lying on their backs in the water, relaxed and enjoying the sunshine. Watching these fascinating maritime mammals, it seems as if their lives are peaceful and serene. However, this perception we might have of them is […]Read Post ›
