Week 34: August 19 - August 25

By the third week of August, the ground squirrels are almost ready for hibernation. It find it amazing how they can sleep so long but with a good layer of fat, they do quite well.  Some August's are wet and chilly while others, like in 2020, are so dry that wildfire smoke can make the sun dull like an eclipse.  In 2021, we were lucky enough to see two bobcats having a discussion at dusk!
