Biologyzing Some Paved Trail in Northern California

I had a day off work so I spent it on a little stroll down this paved trail near Martinez, CA, which runs along the bluffs on the south side of the Carquinez Strait - a geographic gateway that connects the San Francisco Bay to the California Delta. Because I'm hip to Biology, I had a field day looking at all the living things that can be found there. I also used my insect net.
