Western Fence Lizard (Sceloporus occidentalis)Observer
javibearDescription
I believe this squamate at the base of the rocky cliffside was a western fence lizard. It was observed at point dume in Malibu scurrying along a piece of drift-tree and onto some rocks on the upper beach away from the water.

Kōtuku (White Heron) (Ardea alba)Observer
javibearDescription
We observed this large and beautiful Egret in at Point Dume in Malibu while it was hunting in the tide pools off the Pacific coast on a sunny and slightly windy California day. It appeared to be hunting for food as it crept closer to a section of rocks then darted its head and bill forward into the water and caught a fish which it consumed before flying away.
