[quote=""cw gortner""]Where in the East Bay are you? I had no idea there were lynxes and eagles! I see eagles in Lake Tahoe; there's a bald eagle pair that nest every season near Emerald Bay. We're going to see them at the end of May. It's a trek, but well worth it; the eagles return to the same huge nest built high up in the crook of a lightning-blasted tree. They're incredibly beautiful to watch. I see falcons in my local parks, and a few coyotes have been sighted, but never lynx. I love lynx; in Spain, I used to see them in the area where I lived, but now they're severely threatened.[/quote]
I'm in Livermore. Here is the link to
Del Valle. You'd never guess that the place I hike is so close to suburbia-- from the top of the ridge, you can look south to the Ohlone wilderness, and beyond that to the Orestimba wilderness. Turn around and you see all of Livermore, Pleasanton, and Dublin. Maybe we can get Julianne to join us -- she lives just around the corner. Wildflowers are going crazy right now.
