0085-0155: Arroyo Willows

Participated in a group tree planting on Saturday, February 12 for the Laguna de Santa Rosa Foundation. I planted over 70 willow sprigs along the Santa Rosa Laguna near Delta Pond and the bird rookery there. As a group, a total of well over 530 trees were sprigged. While working, I heard and saw many birds, including a bald eagle, and a large flock of pelicans, who circled over the pond then flew in a V-formation over the laguna.

Class: Magnoliopsida
