Natural Perspectives: A blue-ribbon beet and radiant radishes
Vic and I had a great week of agricultural and biological adventures with relatives and friends. Last Tuesday, I took my last large beet to the Orange County Fair to enter in the giant beet contest. Mighty Max wasn't the biggest beet that I've ever grown,...

Natural Perspectives: Things are just ducky at our house
Vic and I have a sure-fire sign that spring has sprung. A pair of mallards has returned to our front yard. Every year in early March, a pair of mallards has taken up residence for a few weeks. They swim in our front yard pond and scarf up greenery and...Tags: Environmental Issues, Lakes and Ponds, Natural Resources

In The Pipeline: The O'Reilly factor at Bolsa Chica
"It's not a park, it's an ecological reserve!" So intoned my friend Ross Griswold, who tracks bird behavior at the Bolsa Chica Wetlands. We ran into each other the other day on the trail and ended up lamenting the ever-increasing abuses by dog owners...Tags: Endangered Species, Cat (animal), Dog (animal), Wetlands, Conservation

Natural Perspectives: The return of vanished species

Natural Perspectives: 'Rapped' up in new teaching endeavor
Vic must have thought that I didn't have enough to do, what with teaching at the Orange County Conservation Corps, writing this column, and attempting to grow 350 pounds of food this year.

Natural Perspectives: Adventures in snowy Albuquerque
Generally, Vic and I try to avoid flying into the midst of a natural disaster. But sometimes it just happens. If you recall, I was caught in a tornado in April in Tennessee, near Knoxville.

Natural Perspectives: Feeling low in the mountains
Vic has a saying that every good party ends with a trip to the emergency room. I haven't been able to embrace that philosophy. But if he's right, then we must have had a heck of a party at Mammoth Lakes. But I'm getting ahead of myself. Vic led yet...Tags: Health and Medical Professionals, Forestry and Timber, Chest Pains, FedEx Corporation, Rivers

Natural Perspectives: Kayaking to keep Bolsa Chica clean
People need to clean up after getting dirty. Wetlands are no different. In olden days, storms would flush out our coastal wetlands.

These days, the Bolsa...Tags: Conservation, Endangered Species, Canoeing and Kayaking, Boats, Environmental Issues
