A large flock of American Bitterns (a rarely seen bird) were seen in Sacramento. More specifically, they were seen in a wildlife preserve called The Gray Lodge Wildlife Area. This Area is highly attractive to waterfowl. This preserve mixes habitat types from a variety of habitats in Sacramento.

There is a place called "Owens Valley" in eastern California. In this valley, there was once a lake called "Owen's Lake." However, that lake is now dried up due to the hostile environment. But S. David Freeman proposes that we turn this loss into a gain. He suggests that we turn this now dry land into a home for a new 80-square-mile solar panel, since it gets, as he says "the best sun in the country." However, landowners and other residents are skeptical about the whole situation, and point out that there has been many disputes about this land due to the valley's water rights.

Many krill have appeared on the coast of Montery, California, and has thus attracted many Blue Whales, Humpback Whales, Minke Whales, Risso's Dolphins, Harbor Porpoises, and more. Some whale watchers spotted over 200 whales within 2 hours of their little expedition. However, these krill-lovers will only stay as long as the krill do--meaning once they eat them all up, they'll leave. Seeing this many Blue Whales in once place is something that typically only happens every 20 years or so.
