Here's another short clip from San Francisco Bay this weekend. The current herring run is attracting a lot of birds.
Great editorial by the Sacramento Bee editorial board about the ongoing controversy at the California Coastal Commission, where pro-development commissioners are trying to oust the agency's executive director:
"Whether he stays or goes, the relationship between commissioners and staff will be beset with distrust and dysfunction. Anyone with business before the commission will have to factor in the conflict. And any replacement for him will be automatically suspect. At this point, the commissioners could hire Poseidon as executive director, and it would be assumed that he was there to turn Big Sur into the Jersey Shore."
Audubon California's Anna Weinstein talks about protecting the small fish that seabirds need to survive. Your voice can make a difference right now, as fisheries managers are taking comment on new regulations that could go a long way toward protecting the food resources. Speak up today.
Our friendly Bald Eagle is back at our Richardson Bay Center & Sanctuary, this time using the newly restored Aramburu Island shoreline.
"I love birding because I love the outdoors and it gives me a way to interact with the natural world that is active and keeps me learning. It's like a scavenger hunt. I started the vest because a friend and I made up birding nicknames when we ran a birding blog and I had a lot of patches from various parks, etc I had visited while birding. I often wore the west while birding anyway and I thought it would be fun to have a sort of birding biker vest."
