Stopping and Noticing

10,000 Birds

Well, the last post from California is here. Even though I was there for only 1,5 months I do feel like I had quite the opportunity to go around and explore this beautiful state. Besides working with birds at the Palomarin Field Station in Marin county I had the chance to visit Sierra Valley, Big Sur, Lassen NP, Humboldt county, and do plenty of exploring around Point Reyes National Seashore.
