I bet you that the victims noticed the crimes by the way--see the "disturbing litany of civil rights violations"

Tara Duggan: Why the Bay Area is home to one of the most effective carbon sinks in the world: Dutch Slough, a restored wetland in Contra Costa County, stores carbon at a higher rate than nearly all other sites studied around the world. Here’s why.
"Dutch Slough, a restored wetland in the Sacramento-San Joaquin River Delta near the town of Oakley, stores carbon at such a high rate that it is in the top 1% of thousands of locations studied worldwide, from pine forests to arctic tundra, according to UC Berkeley scientists who have worked at the site since last year."

My friend nearly stepped on a rattler when she and I were hiking this afternoon in a Contra Costa Open Space. I wish I could have snapped a picture, but my friend was startled and it was best to walk the other way. Be safe. Watch where your feet are and keep an eye on your dogs. Snakes belong here, too. #BayArea #ContraCosta #OpenSpaces #hiking #RespectNature https://www.contracosta.ca.gov/6781/Rattlesnake-Information

Rural Still Life
Mt Diablo was hiding in the clouds this morning so I found myself near Nortonville Road off Kirker Pass. The light dusting of East Bay snow captured the mood for the morning.

Earlier this year, a new visitor paid the East Bay a visit. Having flown north from Pinnacles National Park, condor #943, a young male, was spotted soaring over Brushy Peak on June 9, 2022.
This bird was the second California condor known to occur in the #MountDiablo area in more than 100 years. #ContraCosta #SFBA #BayArea #WalnutCreek https://savemountdiablo.org/blog/2022/12/12/a-second-california-condor-visits-the-diablo-region-after-more-than-100-years/
