Logan Creek Trail Tree Comparisons

I put together some more comparison pics for my favorite tree!

(Here's the link to the last post)

We've had a lot of storms and high winds,
and I think it must have sustained some broken branches
on the right side when compared to the earlier photos...

I still don't know what kind of tree this is, so let me know if you have any idea!

Google Lens is stumped by this tree too.
It says it's either a willow, pistachio, or ash tree.

Whatever kind of tree it is, it's one of my favorites I've come across during my travels.
(But, to be fair, I say that about every tree I meet!)

It has a cozy spot right next to the creek
and I hope it has a long, wonderful life here so I can visit it in the years to come.

Coyote Sighting at the Sacramento National Wildlife Refuge


We were thrilled to see a coyote on the auto tour!

This is only the second time we've ever seen a coyote, and the first time we've seen one at the Sacramento National Wildlife Refuge!

What an amazing experience to see this beautiful wild animal so close-up!


What kinds of wildlife encounters have you had while birding?
