you may notice small grey-brown shore birds scurrying on the sand

These rattlesnakes are generally less aggressive than some of their cousins but it's still wise to give them plenty of space

California Ecosystems - Wrens on the Hazelnuts (original) shore_crab you may notice small grey-brownThis work focuses on the ecological relationships in redwood adjacent forest. Pacific Wrens perch on the slender branches of California Hazelnut, singing their complex songs. Woodland Cicadas rasp their abdomens to advertise their presence during the first warm days of summer. Underfoot, Dusky footed Woodrats gather Tan Oak acorns and use Bay Laurel leaves to fumigate their dens. Original watercolor and ink illustration on 300 lb. hot press Arches
