2017 10-23 Yolo By-Pass & Yolo County

-

A brief pass through Yolo County to see the owls, then spent most of our time touring around the Yolo By-Pas. Sightings included countless numbers of spider web strands being carried by the slow breeze and then sticking to everything. A little black and red spider went along for the ride on many of these sticky silk strands. A cool white-tailed kite was watched (and will be seen in the same spot one week from now).
