Vernal pools are crucial to many critters! Also very cool to find one if you are just out walking.
Dan McCulloughIn spring, vernal pools go from ice and snow to pools teeming with life.
This is one of my nearby ones. It’s officially certified so it’ll soon have some combo of Fairy Shrimp, Wood Frogs and breeding Spotted Salamanders… along with LOTS of other life. It’ll be a race against time for developing species as the pool will dry up in the coming weeks/months.
And I’ll be mucking about in my water boots and Magiscope, soon! 🤗
HisstogrammaYellow carpet - Blennosperma nanum in the vernal pools in Solano County today at Jepson Prairie Preserve. One of the first flowers to start blooming in our area. I signed up to be a docent this year and I’m taking their courses and they are fantastic. #wildflowers #vernalpools
MsMeropeMore #vernalPools at #phoenixPark (and 2 mallards)
Consider these “before pictures” come April or May there will hopefully be blooms where the water now lies

CNPS vernal pool workshop today at Jepson prairie. Stunning flowers and several rare plants. My boots were yellow at the end of the day from the goldfield pollen. #bloomscrolling #vernalpools

Tim MooreTook a hike with the San Diego chapter of California Native Plant Society to Santa Rosa Plateau preserve in Riverside County, California. Many wildflowers blooming in the grasslands and oak forests. It's a beautiful place to visit. Home to a few large vernal pools, probably the rarest ecotype in California or maybe the world. Lots of Mariposa lilies in bloom. One of those increasingly rare places showing how California was, before the European invasion. A living ecosystem, not a museum. Once threatened by the red tiled roof jungle of suburbia, but saved by forward thinking people.
