A magical time of year is coming in February- a chance to see a natural #firefall at #horsetailfall in @YosemiteNPS Last year was the most amazing one I have ever witnessed-this video captured the wind moving the water in a spectacular show. #yosemite #yosemitefirefall

This morning in the sierra was nothing short of insane. Incredible light in the wake of the clearing storm, paired perfectly with remaining fall colors 😍

Winter has arrived in Yosemite’s high country. From the @YoseConservancy webcams

Another portrait of Sophie the pika from last week in Yosemite. She is now in her winter world beneath the snow from this storm.

In 2016, we hosted the first P-22 Day Festival in Griffith Park to celebrate the remarkable P-22 and help people coexist with wildlife. Now we are Celebrating 10 Years of the P-22 Day Festival! Wow!!!!! Hope to see you on October 25 in Griffith Park!

Always great to be at the California Natural Resources Agency. Awesome folks leading the way to protect our natural heritage.

Before and after. Got the wood stacked before the storm hits tomorrow. Let winter begin!

Sophie the pika in Yosemite yesterday.

Beautiful coyote strolling through Yosemite’s high country yesterday.

A beautiful Cooper's hawk made an appearance on the Sunshine Hill wildlife cameras this week.

Winter is coming is the motto in the wildlife world right now. My wildlife cameras clearly show we are in that transition time, when the shifts are changing, especially in the bird world, with some species departing and others starting to arrive. The western bluebirds are my

Happy place. Saturday morning with Casey Kasem’s American top 40 on 70s on 7, while checking wildlife camera footage. Especially when Shaun Cassidy comes on. I know every word…my little girl self bought every album.

A gorgeous fall day in Yosemite’s high country yesterday at Gaylor Lakes Basin, with a chilly wind signaling what is to come. 6-10 inches of snow is predicted for Tioga Pass next week. I said my goodbyes to the high country for the season and wished the land a good winter rest.

Sophie the pika came to say goodbye for the winter. I miss my pika friends after the passes close. But a splendid day in the Yosemite high country, and it might be the last for the season as snow is arriving Monday. And I had wonderful companionship-thank you @GabrielleCanon !

“A little over a week since the Oct. 1 shutdown of the federal government, videos and photos have surfaced on social media showing visitors to Yosemite National Park engaging in dangerous and illegal behaviors..” @AshleyHarrell3 @SFGate https://t.co/7Fhu9Rzjpf

Some of this week's deer portraits from the Sunshine Hill wildlife cameras.

This week in the adventures of my backyard foxes.

Surrounded by dogs-Saturday morning with the Sunshine Hill Pack, sorting through trail cam footage, sipping tea and listening to Casey Kasem’s American Top 40 from the 1970s. #happiness

Arrived this week! Can’t wait to savor this. Thank you @heydaybooks and Liam O’Brien! Had the honor of meeting Liam on the annual Yosemite Butterfly Count this year.
