Marshall's Beach Trip 1

April 20, 2019 07:45 PM - April 20, 2019 09:00 PM
| Latitude: 37.802 | Longitude: -122.479 | Radius (m): 304 | Distance traveled: 1600m | Duration: 75 minutes | Number of observers: 2 |

We took a hike down to Marshall's Beach in the Presidio. It was really, really windy, but we were setting out to look for insects, reptiles, and some plants. I added reptiles to my list to really try out trips and make myself focus and as I was taking a photo of an iris, I saw a garter snake (no photo) and an alligator lizard in the same spot! Then D found a green hairstreak on our way back up the hill.

      you didn't see any Lupines? I feel like yellow bush lupine and 'that silvery blue one' are all over the place here

      I have seen them there before, but I didn't see any. There was lots over ivy and marah overgrowth, especially at the top of the trail.
