Observer: Eloise Bacher
Date: 13 November, 2008
Time: 1330-1350
Location: Baskett Slough Wildlife Refuge
Weather: Partly cloudy, sunny, windy.
Our Biology 125 lab went to Baskett Slough for a field trip to count plants, and our first survey site is in the grassland high above the parking lot. I can see all the way to the coast range and the cloud shadows moving across the valley. A few of the deer we watched by the parking lot are still visible, but most of them moved into deeper cover when we walked up the path. There is a Red Tailed Hawk soaring above us, the red tail only evident when s/he turns just right and it is highlighted by the sun. S/he is screaming, over and over, and soon is joined by another, and they move through a complex dance through the clouds as we watch.
