Recent Sightings at the San Elijo Lagoon Ecological Reserve
Colorful vistas can be seen throughout the Reserve: Lemonade berry, Bush sunflower and Black sage have
been blooming for a while now. Sea dahlia and Monkey
flowers are both coming into flower. There are
also still delightful displays of the Chapparal Clematis. Little "treasures"
seen at the Conservancy's second Saturday walk in March included Baby blue-eyes, one Wind poppy and one Cream cup blossom;
presumably more will come, so watch out as you explore the Reserve.
View all recent sightings.
You can now submit your own sightings to sightings@SanElijo.org.
Visit the Lagoon. Enjoy its beauty. Help in its conservation.
It's your Lagoon - It's your legacy.
