Hello!

Ecological notes:
This week I have been fortunate enough to have uncommon visitors stop by the reserve… Brown Pelicans!
A group of a dozen pelicans have flown by 2-3 times this week and stopped for an afternoon break on an occasion as well!

Weather:

My morning routine consists of listening to the radio marine forecast accompanied by my cup of joe.  This morning they shared that there is a ridge (High pressure system) along the west coast once again.  This is good for the solar panels :) but will most likely indicate stronger westerlies (which had finally calmed down) coming into the straight once again.

Or call 2503636880 to hear the radio forecast (for the region around Race Rocks) on your phone :)

Once you have chosen a region if you can also click on the “synopsis” tab it will show the marine synopsis.  This is the part of the forecast were they talk about the systems (high and low pressure) positions.
