Happy Mother’s Day everyone.
This is today’s birding walk. At an old Russian orchard before California became a state. On the north coast, Fort Ross State Historic Park.
The Russians came here to raise food for their colonies in Alaska. They were here for a decade or so before realizing the climate wasn’t conducive for crops. They were basically squatters. So far away that no one bothered them.
They left a great orchard and shot a lot of cannons at nothing because it was fun and they had nothing better to do.
It was that or drink vodka and eat borscht. Maybe they did all three.
HAPPY EARTH DAY! Where were you on the very first Earth Day?
Christmas Day on another day.
