Saturday, May 10th was one of the most beautiful days we’ve had on Bayview Hill, and that’s saying a lot because that is one beautiful hill. It was sunny and warm with a cool, mellow breeze.

We gathered seeds, mostly from grasses such as Purple Needle Grass (Nassella pulchra), California Barley (Hordeum brachyantherum), Blue Wild Rye (Elymus glaucus), and Onion Grass (Melica californica). We saw non-native grasses, including Wild Oats (Avena barbata) and Ripgut Brome (Bromus diandrus).

We also cleared European radish from around the radio tower (don’t worry, there’s more), and were treated to a man climbing the tower to change light bulbs up there. A hawk landed on the tower BELOW him.

If you like watching the wind move over grassy meadows and lots of yarrow and poppies in bloom, among other earthly delights, I recommend a visit to Bayview Hill right about now. Enjoy.
