Observed eating bird seed near Morton's Pond (a beaver pond) in SFC Nature Sanctuary.

on Potentilla

Halosaccion glandiforme (Sea Sacs) washed ashore; the first I've seen around here.

Along the lakeside trail

I am guessing this Southern Sea Otter is dining on abalone in the open waters of Monterey Bay

Growing on the bajada, this specimen has gracefully arching stems and stands about two meters high

Did not get a close look at the inside of the wings but I think they were light blue.
