Coyote Creek Trail, Hwy. 237 to Cottonwood Dr.

On Sunday D. and I took a walk on the Coyote Creek Trail between Highway 237 and Cottonwood Dr., and I took some pics of what we saw along the way.

The trail.



Wild radish and California poppies.





Which one of these hundreds of trees is the "first tree"? 



Graffiti, a pigeon and reflections where the trail goes under Hwy. 237.







Coyote Creek.



Tiny beetles on angelica blossoms



The trail skirts the campus of a tech company that has dedicated part of its land to habitat for the endangered burrowing owl.



Cisterns are part of the Coyote Creek flood control system.



The trail.



A black phoebe hunts for bugs to eat at the edge of the woods.



Girafa under the Tasman Dr. overpass.



California blackberry.



A sign with the letter V mysteriously cleaned off.  (D. and I think it indicates the proximity of a homeless encampment in the woods.)



Mallow.



We pass by a great blue heron rookery, with little baby herons poking their head above the nests.





We pass by a mysterious white dome between a townhome complex and a flood control station. 





A fiery skipper rests on the trail.
