Burl back in action on the hotspot. I love Winters, probably one of my favorite communities that comes around these neck of the woods. And Winters brought the rain!! It is raining right now and has been for the last 24 hours.

The week was special with many special sightings. Check it out:

Beach Day:
Breaching Whales
Octopus
Sea Slug
Spotted Dorris
Sea Anemone’s
Sunflower Sea star
Redwinged Black Bird
Ochre Stars

Forest:
Dirt Stars (For Rebecca)
Slugs
2 Bobcats
Pine Siskins
Gold Finches
and many more birds that we will report later.

What I loved most about this week was the mix of sunshine and rain that produces one of the most amazing spectacles that nature provides for us – Rainbows!! It was a glorius week — Thanks Winters
