Natural History Wanderings

Antelope Valley California Poppy Reserve reports: The recent rains have alleviated the drought in much of the state, but we're still at only half of what we need to potentially have a good bloom at the Poppy Reserve. More rain is coming though! Shoots of grasses, red-stem filaree, and a few little poppies are starting to poke through. It's still too early to predict the bloom duration and intensity, but regular updates will begin in February. The Jane S. Pinheiro Interpretive Center will be open March 1 – April 30.
