Notes & Pics from first hike

Hi Everyone, I'm so glad we went out today!  I had a super time with all of you and hope you had a nice time too!

Unfortunately, I now see that you can't post a comment with a picture in it, at least, I don't think you can.  However, if you email me pictures, I will post them.

Here are some things we saw today (click links for more information):




  1. Toyon, also called Christmas berry or California Holly.
  2. My favorite little buddy, the dusky footed woodrat.  (Ok, well, his nest anyways.)
  3. Delicious smelling California sagebrush.
  4. Hillside Gooseberry - one of our first flowerers.
  5. Extremely cool White Tailed Kite, hovering (kiting!) in search of dinner.
  6. And of course, the itchy, the ubiquitous, the cryptic:  Poison Oak!


Please check back in with this park from March to May, when the fields are just carpeted with wildflowers!  You won't regret it!

If you want to help keep this park amazing, volunteer for the Edgewood Weed Warriors!  It's a great group of folks and you will learn a lot while having fun!  More information at: http://www.friendsofedgewood.org/habitat-restoration.


Looking forward to the next!
