Coyote Creek Lagoon Off-Trail

On Sunday D. and I returned to the Coyote Creek Lagoon trail to go off-trail in another direction.  It wasn't very interesting, but here are some of the pics I took anyway.

Rose hips are ripening at the trailhead.



Canada geese hang out in Coyote Creek.



A black-necked stilt wades in a pond in the salt marsh.



This stilt is yelling at us in a high shrill voice as we pass by.



The reason for the screamin': its chick swims nearby.



Snowy egrets in Coyote Creek.





Looking across the marsh.



The trail is extremely overgrown and full of tinder-dry weeds.



Seaside heliotrope.



A view across the creek, choked with vegetation.



Small ponds dot the marsh.



A buckeye pod, with tiny spines.



A prickly pear cactus is bearing fruit.



Another look across the marsh.



Someone's ukulele lessions haven't paid off, I guess.



Cheerful graffiti in a drainage culvert near the trailhead.
