Nesting season is a go! Of our 29 bird nest boxes at three locations, we currently have nesting activity going on in 18 of them—that’s in more than half the boxes! Three already have complete nests with eggs in them with another probably with eggs, as an oak titmouse mother was brooding on it.
Three of these nests belong to these common oak woodland birds known for using mosses, fibers, grasses, and forbs. Oak titmice line their nests with feathers and fur, often acquired by a risky practice called kleptotrichy, or stealing hair directly from animals. Can you figure out the source of the striped fur in the second nest shown here? We’re thinking raccoon. The third nest—with nine(!) eggs—is still somewhat of a mystery at this point. Perhaps you have some ideas?!
We have been able to observe American black bears in all three photos shown here through our Wildlife Camera Project. Thank you for your support and enjoy World Bear Day!

We love our supporters and wildlife! This Valentine’s Day, please enjoy (and share!) some of the adorable animal pics captured by our Wildlife Camera Project. What started as a Cal Poly senior project 15 years ago has expanded to 16 cameras at three properties—all supported by 34 volunteers.
❤️ ❤️ Which of these four punny valentines is your fave: the coyote, black bear, mountain lion, or desert cottontail? ❤️ ❤️
