Animal pictures in Marin County Parks


Black-tail deer grassing on the lawn at Paradise Beach Park in Tiburon.



Brown Seagull at Paradise Beach Park. 



Arboreal Salamander (Aneides lugubris)

These two appeared as i lifted the tree root i was digging out at Paradise Beach Park in Tiburon. Pardon me gentlemen! 




You sir are the hippest squirrel i have ever seen in my life, might be a San Francisco thing. I bet dogs might even like you! Spotted this guy as i was taking pictures of a Liquidambar tree, check previous post, on John F. Kennedy Drive in Golden Gate Park.



Herring Gull at McNears Park in San Rafael. The Herring Gull is identifiable by the pink legs and red spot on the lower mandible. 




Beautiful Western Scrub Jay i spotted at Paradise Beach Park in Tiburon. This guy did not shy away from me as i got as close as 10 feet from him.







Snowy Egret by the side of the road near Mike's Bikes at Mill Valley.






Ranger Jim Slack keeping us from killing the only thing left intact of this Fin Whale, it's dignity. The Fin Whale is the second largest whale in the world after the blue whale. It can grow up to 80 feet. This baby was 43 feet and it lost track of its mom and ended up in Upton Beach just north of Stinson Beach.


Scientists are messy people! Scientists are conducting a necropsy to try and figure out the reason why this whale got lost and or died.



Sushi anyone?
