Pinnacles

Sunday and Monday the Palomarin field station was shut down, as all of the staff and interns headed to Pinnacles National Monument for a couple days of hiking and camping. I had a really great time. Pinnacles was beautiful, the change of habitat was great, which brought on many new birds to see, and it was nice to spend time outside of the field station with much of the staff, who we don't often get time to interact.

There was A LOT of this:

It was not hot as we had hoped and kind of expected, so this reservoir at the end of of the hike was not the treat it could have been
