Hey Humboldt folks, I know we all love places like Arcata Marsh & Humboldt Bay Wildlife Refuge for birding, but don't sleep on the ponds behind Gene Lucas Community Center in Fortuna. Took The Retriver there this morning & logged the most species ever in a Merlin Bird App session. Swallows everywhere, & it even clocked a Purple Martin! 🤩
Plus this Egret was giving marsh realness posing for a few bird photographers - I only got a crummy iPhone shot. Species in next toot.

We headed out for a bunch of little hikes among the peaks of the Lassics, which tend to feature in the minds of the outdoorsy locals because they can be seen from so many places.

Lost Coast Outpost

Tomorrow is the Humboldt Artisans Craft and Music Festival here in Eureka, CA in northern California.

I’m a vendor this time, and I’ve never done it before. I’m nervous. It’s three days long, and I’m hoping I have enough stock. I’m lucky in that I can print things each night here in my own studio if I run out a particular item, but it’s still going to be a long weekend.

Should be cool—they turn off the lights, so it’s all wintery and fun. All the vendors have to have their own lighting. And there’s holiday music in each of the three buildings, so It’ll be nice. My building apparently has electrical and heating issues, so I’m a tad concerned about that, but I use my own battery, so I should be okay.

I’ll be selling some new holiday greeting cards along with all my other stuff, as well as my new 2026 Bird Calendar, so I’ll have seasonal stuff that’s appropriate.

Wish me luck!
