The Martinez week was glorious after about 4 inches of rain fell the weekend before. This hot spot includes fungus and salamanders which will become the norm as the winter rains begin to fall. The greatest highlight of the week was that ALL of the students witnessed the dancing of the whales during both beach days! The weather was perfect — warm at the beach with light winds. The swell was minimal and began to pick up later in the week. The swell direction was small and out of the south and another swell came in from the WestNorthWest. Check out the list and thanks Martinez for the great week:
1) sharp shinned hawk
2) red shoulder hawk
3) Deer
