A cow elk gazes off into the distance. Pardon the anthropomorphism, but she looks like she is smiling. This photo was taken at the Tule Elk Refuge on Tomales Point.

Columbia Blacktail Deer, Point Reyes National Seashore, Marin County, California
It’s really green at Point Reyes now and the early flowers are starting to bloom. This photo was taken on January 26, 2010, just south of Abbott’s Lagoon. I haven’t been there in about a week, but Ill bet it will look just like it did last year real soon if not right now.
Raven, Point Reyes National Seashore, Marin County, California
I don’t know what this raven was eating. It was a soft, yellow vegetative material.
Western Bluebird, Point Reyes National Seashore, Marin County, California
I’ve been looking for a western bluebird to photograph for some time. It hasn’t been easy. First, they are hard to find. Second, they aren’t easy to get a lens on them. They don’t sit still for more than a few seconds, if that. Third, it’s hard to get a clean background. This guy accommodated me recently at Point Reyes. Thank you my friend.
Coyote, Point Reyes National Seashore, Marin County, California
This resident coyote was looking for something to eat when it spotted yet another Point Reyes tourist. The Seashore is a good place to spot coyotes, but they exist throughout Marin County, provided there is good habitat for them.
Bobcat, Point Reyes National Seashore, Marin County, California
I went out to Point Reyes for a while today. I saw two bobcats and a coyote, not to mention the more common things like elk, deer, various hawks, a burrowing owl, and other birds. When I first saw this bobcat it was lying down in the grass. I wasn’t sure if it was a bobcat or a tabby cat. One of our two tabby cats has a face that looks just like a bobcat’s face and there are plenty of farm cats in the Seashore. Anyway, as you can see from the photo, it was definitely a bobcat. Point Reyes is a good place to spot bobcats, but they exist in suitable habitat throughout Marin County.
