BAY AREA HERPING
Things were clearing up a bit the following day, to I headed up to the Bay Area to herp Marin County.

Brown Garden Snail.

Coast Garter Snakes are quite common here. This is one with a bit of extra red.

Aquatic intergrade Garter Snakes were less often seen.

Douglas Iris was in bloom at many of the locations I visited.

A "standard looking" Coast Garter Snake.

Another photo of the same snake.

A bird that also lives in my home state - a Song Sparrow.

Slender Salamanders can be found here as well.

Cinnamon Teal.
