Happy World Bee Day! Here at Fort Ross, Honey bees find the coast climate too cool, but bumble bees, Bombus voznesenskii, thrive! They were named for Russian scientist I. Voznesenskii who visited Fort Ross in the 1800s. #SaveTheBees #WorldBeeDay #BeeDay #fortross #BumbleBee

Do you think you will be the only kayaker to approach her today? Think again. And again. And again. And again. • Otter species around the world are threatened by urban encroachment. It is up to us to be aware and caring enough to respect their spatial needs. #WorldOtterDay

When observing wildlife on the water, be sure to stay at least 5 kayak lengths away from animals. Don't touch, feed or surround wildlife. To report injured or endangered wildlife, visit bit.ly/3wt2AC8. #WildlifeWednesday🐬 #NationalSafeBoatingWeek DBW

Farallones Field Notes: Harbor seals come ashore to rest, warm up, & from March-June, females give birth & nurse their young. See a seal pup on the beach? Mom could be feeding nearby. Love seals from afar (300 ft.) & keep pets on-leash. PC: Jahmal White, Volunteer Naturalist
