I'm currently living in the Carmel, CA area and marveling at the fine white sand of the beaches and the abundance of wildlife deeper in Carmel Valley. I've seen a wild boar, a badger, foxes, bobcats, coyote, rabbits, raccoons, deer, quail with their babies dashing across the road, wild turkey with their young ones, acorn woodpeckers, magpies, hawks, opossum, a peacock, pelicans both brown and white, many types of gulls, cormorants, sea lions, sea otters, Orcas and more. I've heard great horned owls and the past few nights a very melodic owl of unknown name outside my window. I found the owl's small feather on the path outside my door. This is a vast marine and wildlife sanctuary, which is a legacy for future generations if it's protected. I'm just starting to explore the beauty and subtle treasures here. More later. Buddy
