Spring Break Hike

During my Spring Break, I traveled to southern California in Lancaster to the Lancaster Desert Preserve. At the preserve I came across a limited amount of plant and animal species. This area was not as diverse as species in the bay area. Species that are native to the area and that could be found in the preserve: joshua trees, creosote, California Juniper, desert shrubs rabbits/hares,coyotes, morning doves, squirrels quails, and crows. Unfortunately I was not able to get a snapshot of every specie at the preserve, but the ones that were available are pictured in the Journal.
