BAY AREA HERPING
I ended the trip with herping the Bay Area.

Aquatic Intergrade Garter Snake.

Oceanside Cows.

A White-crowned Sparrow wearing a lot of ankle bracelets.

California Poppies seemed to be in bloom more than usual.

Checkerspot Butterfly.

Tule Elk.

A tiny Sierran Treefrog.

Otter.

I closed out the trip with this fine looking California Red-sided Garter Snake - it was a great week of hiking and herping!
