Happy Easter! Fitting that I share a picture of this rare & endangered Riparian Brush Bunny. Once nearly extinct (few hundred left) in the late 90's we had the honor of seeing many up close recently foraging with his CA Quail friend.

We watched this rattlesnake swim far out into the lake, likely for a hunt at the San Luis Reservoir. It was headed straight toward a swarm of Tree Swallows skimming the water surface

My Little Butter-Butt Borb lookin' all cute and coy before a bath. Yellow Rumped Warblers are my most frequent cool weather bathers.

The ultimate beneficial insect starter pack! 🐝 Fennel for the swallowtails, borage for the bees, and zinnias for the soul. Starting seeds today means a backyard ecosystem by summer. There’s nothing more satisfying than watching these hit the dirt. 🌱✨ #GardeningTwitter #GrowYourOwn #PollinatorGarden
Off The Garden Path: Yet another Great Blue Heron successfully evading a closeup picture. Many more evasive Heron pictures to come. Eastman Lake, Chowchilla CA

Table and graph of native plant species count increasing from 76 in 2022 to 136 in 2026.
As of March 2026, our home landscape exceeds 130 species of native plants. There may be more, but hold back til they emerge or stick around beyond planting. #WhatYouPlantMatters #naturallandscape #pollinatorgarden killyourlawn

I saw my first Hummingbird / Sphinx Moths of the season yesterday evening… one of my favorite visitors in the garden! Today I found this empty pupa that one of them left behind under my tree. Nature is so cool. 😎 🐛

It's been a busy couple of days. Blue-Eyed Mary (Collinsia verna) found at Missouri Wildflowers Nursery. #WhatYouPlantMatters #grownative #pollinatorgarden
Just came home from an awesome camping trip to the first Poppies poppin’ in the garden!

I planted for pollinators, and not everything worked the same. Knowing what truly attracts pollinators helps make your garden more lively and fruitful.
Which plant brings pollinators to your yard?

Mealy Blue Sage has started showing off its blooms that soon enough will be buzzing with pollinators.
This is such an exciting part of the year. Seems every day brings a change, and new blooms.

Watching another damselfly pond emergence in progress. These guys are a great natural defense against mosquito larva!

Another native flower has made its first debut in the garden! Lacy Phacelia. The garden is full of these buds that are ready to pop. I can’t wait to see more of them… and more bees, too! 🐝 #WildlifeGarden #NativePlantGarden #PollinatorGarden #BirdFriendlyGarden #LegaseedWildlifeGarden
It doesn't look like much is going on above the surface of my Narrowleaf Milkweed, but below? An extensive root system is establishing itself that will get this plant through our harsh valley conditions #WildlifeGarden #PollinatorGarden #CaliforniaNativePlants #SaveTheMonarchs #BirdFriendlyGarden
We restructured the habitat hedge by pulling it away from the fence and adding support to make it a more manageable wildlife structure. It’s a simple way to turn yard waste into habitat.

I spotted a Western Toad tadpole in the mini wildlife pond! And a snail poop. 😂 Even at this stage, toad tadpoles have mild toxins that make them less desirable to predators like fish, turtles, and birds. #WildlifeGarden #PollinatorGarden #Amphibians #BirdFriendlyGarden #LegaseedWildlifeGarden
🦇 My bat house from Bat Conservation and Management is officially mounted! It could take a few years before any move-in, but I will be outside every morning after sunrise without fail to obsessively check if any have moved in 👀
