Last Weeks to See Baby Chicks at Bolinas Lagoon Preserve
Blog: 71Miles - 19 June 2009

Mark your calendar: Plan a weekend daytrip to Marin before July 12th to see newborn Snowy Egrets and Great Blue Herons at Audubon Canyon Ranch, in West Marin. After Sunday, July 12, the ranch closes for summer, so the fledgling birds can find their wings in peace.

Show your children these magnificent winged creatures, and watch their eyes light up. Then tell them how this ranch is the reason there’s not a freeway up the Marin-Sonoma coast.

I won’t be posting again till late summer: I leave next week for Australia on a media tour, then I’ll be in Madagascar for a three-week TV shoot – at the furthest place on the globe from California. Pray for me. For some Father’s Day travel ideas, watch me on TV this Sunday, June 21, at 8am on the Susan Sikora Show, KBCW Channel 44/Cable 12. Happy summer!
