There's a very special place called the Arcata Community Forest. The City of Arcata, CA, owns a bit of property by Cal Poly Humboldt. Part of it includes some community buildings, a playground with a field for visitors to relax, and a Forest. I don't really care about those first two features; the Forest is where I like to visit. It includes very nice dirt paths to explore the property. Hearing the wonderful calls from the resident Varied Thrushes while enjoying the beautiful greenery is one of my favorite pastimes. You should visit here if you can.

I took this shot last year and unfortunately I have not seen this species since. They are very cool, though, so I'm looking forward to my next encounter.

In the water, out of the water, I don't really care where critters are, but I’m going to photograph them and show you what they look like in the environment that I found them in.

The forests outside Eureka, CA, are some of my favorite spots to find a variety of Mushrooms.

These Otters were able to find a lot of food within the short amount of time that I spent watching them. Fish and Crustaceans were on the menu.

River Otters are so expressive. They always seem to be moving about. Even when they take a break, it's only for a minute, and then they are back to some sort of shenanigans.

A while ago I posted another photograph of this same Blue Heron where it was flying right in front of me. It was standing on this rock preening itself for a little while prior to that. Its thin feathers became sprawled out as it combed them with its beak.

After the Sun had already set I stuck around Manzanita Lake in Mt. Lassen to watch a family of Deer. This particular juvenile looked up to see what its sibling was eating over in the tall grass.
