Marilynne's Wetlands and Other Stuff 2015

[Marilynne]

Wound up at a different area of the Yamato Scrub Natural Area yesterday. It was unplanned so I still had the Tamzooka on the camera. Chris and I took different trails and we could still see each other. I found a Gopher Tortoise.

He signaled me and I thought he found something. He found two gopher tortoise holes but none were out. When we when back to my spot, mine was gone.

They were spraying at Wako yesterday. Hope they're careful around the low lying nests.
