The Jump I've seen this behavior from afar, but this is the first time I have captured jump-hunting in any detail. I could barely see over the rise in this hill.

Great read from a great Naturalist

Jonel Lopez is rapidly become one of our favorite photographers in the Bay Area, incredible work, incredible eye, incredible focus, he's a gift to us all... thank Jonel!

Have you ever seen a bobcat in Yosemite? Thanks to DNC Parks & Resorts at Yosemite employee Renee Santiago, you can see a bobcat hunting (unsuccessfully) a squirrel in Curry Village:

You must register! Wait list can turn into a ticket in! If people cancel, you'll get a call! Also let em' know there is interest for this GUIDED hike, and we ma...y be able to do one more! Event Details: Witness the fall raptor migration from The Wildlands Conservancy's 548 acre Estero Americano Coast Preserve, located on the southernmost section of the Sonoma coastline in Bodega Bay. While hiking through the grassy slopes above the Estero Americano, these remarkable aerialists will awe us with their acrobatics and grace as they make their annual migration south. Larry Broderick, founder of West County Hawk Watch and the Jenner Headlands Raptor Migration Project, will guide us through the hills teaching us how to identify the raptors that we encounter. Make sure to bring your binoculars to catch all the action! Be prepared to walk approximately three miles of steep and rugged terrain for this hike! We will meet at 9:45 am at the Bodega Country Store, 17190 Bodega Highway, Bodega, CA. We will caravan to the preserve from the store. The Wildlands Conservancy prioritizes the safety and health of our employees and visitors. All hike participants are required to have a face mask and maintain at least a 6-foot social distance from others. Participants must wear a mask when you cannot maintain a safe social distance. It is recommended to bring your own hand sanitizer. Stay home if you feel unwell. The hike is limited to ten participants. https://getinvolved.wildlandsconservancy.org//este/e298647
