Well, wonder no more. The answer is…in trees.
Ever wonder where butterflies sleep?

I love spotting new types of wildlife in the neighborhood…
These guys were enjoying the waning days of summer before heading to Palm Springs for the winter.
Hangin’ with the guys at the mud flat…
Willets and curlews.
Something less slimy…
Cattle egret reflecting on egret things.
Bolsa Chica…come for the majestic wildlife…
Stay for the horrible 15 lb. slugs.
Bolsa Chica in July…
Beautiful at any time of the year!
A bold cattle egret. You try to squeeze by him and he just stands there and screeches at you.
Egrets at lunch.
Sunbathers.
Curlew.
Great heron.
Hummingbird home out my window…
Watching this mom and her two little ones was a real kick.
OK, she’s not the neatest homemaker…
…but she’s still a cutie.
Urban Wildlife!
California ground squirrel, Clark Regional Park
This guy, taking his sweet time…
Mr. Crook, our resident #1 Western fence lizard. You can tell it’s him because of the kink in his tail, the fact that he’s big for his species, and the direct, sassy eye contact he gives you. My day is made when I see this guy.
At the best park of all…
Alfie’s a big fan of Clark Regional Park…
I love big, tall, mature trees!
I always half expect something to pop out of the haunted looking log.
The beautiful yellow sandstone of the Los Coyotes Hills…
No superbloom yet. But really pretty and green anyway.
Black-crowned night heron.
It was a beautiful spring day!
Looking across the lake.
Like I said, she’s a big fan.
