Stornetta Public Lands in Bloom!
The Bureau of Land Management Stornetta Public Lands, on northern California's Mendocino Coast, are in bloom! The 1,100 acres of open space north Point Arena feature meadows, rugged bluffs and outstanding views of the rocks and islands of the California Coastal National Monument. There are also great vantage points of the Point Arena Lighthouse, a privately owned attraction open to the public, the tallest on the West Coast.
Here are a few samples of the spring beauty on your coastal public lands. These were taken May 16, 2013.
The Stornetta Lands can be accessed from Lighthouse Road, just north of the Point Arena city limits on California State Highway 1.

A Kazakh nomad lasso's a wild mare in Western Mongolia
On one day each July, Kazakh nomads capture around a dozen wild mare's from the wild. They are broken the same day and then live with the nomad's throughout the brutal winter of the Altai Mountains. Each helping the other survive through to the spring in one of the worlds most remote locations.

I was really privileged to find these wild horses and, clearly, they didn't mind sharing their lives with me this fine afternoon. I'm not clear what the onlooker's motive was - moral support, learning experience or jealousy?? But I can tell you, this happened in almost a blink of an eye, less than 30 seconds from the time the stallion made clear his intentions to the grand finish.
Early California’s wild turkeys now occupy about 18 percent of our state, and are a highly valued upland game bird. Many Californians also enjoy watching them.
Between 5,000 and 6,000 feathers cover the body of an adult turkey in patterns called feather tracts. A turkey's feathers provide a variety of survival functions – they keep him warm and dry, allow him to fly, feel and show off for the opposite sex. The head and upper part of the neck are featherless, but if you look close, you can see little bumps of skin on the bare area.
Most of the feathers exhibit a metallic glittering, called iridescence, with varying colors of red, green, copper, bronze and gold. The gobbler, or male turkey, is more colorful, while the hen is a drab brownish or lighter color to camouflage her with her surroundings.

There are a number of Wild European Rabbits in Calgary, and this is just one of them. It always feels strange to see what look like pet rabbits wandering loose in people's gardens and around a neighbourhood. This one was seen yesterday, 24 July 2018, when I went on a botany walk at the Erlton/Roxboro Natural Area. It was busy eating the grass across the road from where our walk took place. Right next to this area is a Cemetery - funny, I do tend to see rabbits in cemeteries, either these Wild European Rabbits, which come in all sorts of colours, or the White-tailed Jackrabbits.
The town of Canmore, near Banff, in Banff National Park, has had a problem with these Wild European Rabbits. They attract Coyotes and other wildlife into the town. I know they did do something about this problem, but I don't know what the situation in Canmore is like now. I seem to remember reading that a fair number of them were sent to British Columbia to a sanctuary there and the rest were "got rid of".
Here is a link to a Calgary Herald newspaper article from 15th December 2010, about the problem with these Rabbits in the town of Canmore, near Banff: They were, of course, also eating the plants in people's gardens, which some home owners complained about.
"Canmore Mayor Ron Casey is taking aim at the picturesque Alberta town's rascally rabbits. Casey, who said the animals are attracting predators such as cougars, has secured support for a $50,000 budget to deal with feral rabbits."

Wild turkeys (Meleagris gallopavo) are smart birds that can adapt to the environment, work together in a flock, and are inquisitive creatures. Wild turkeys are also fast movers—flying up to 55 miles per hour in the air and running up to 25 miles per hour on land. While you may be able to recognize the bird by its fanned-out tail, bare heads, and gobbling call, there's so much more to these birds.
