Wildlife Out and About in Rancho Sierra Vista/Satwiwa Post-Springs Fire
The National Park Service estimated that some 70% of the 1,170 acre Rancho Sierra Vista/Satwiwa area in Newbury Park was impacted by the Springs Fire this past May. The impact on wildlife was staggering. With so much of the landscape charred, wildlife is frequently seen foraging around for food...deer, coyotes, rabbits, etc. More on Rancho Sierra Vista/Satwiwa and the Satwiwa Native American Indian Culture Center (thankfully not impacted by the fire due to the efforts of firefighters) at THIS LINK.

No problems spotting this beautiful King Snake crossing the trail.
And below are some deer caught foraging for food next to the Satwiwa Native American Indian Culture Center on a recent morning.
