Three Oak Species (Closer)
Valley oak (Quercus lobata), with oak mistletoe (Phoradendron serotinum ssp. tomentosum). Sheltering a red-berried toyon (Hetteromeles arbutifolia). On the hill in the background, blue oaks (Q. douglasii) on the left merge into evergreen coast live oaks (Q. agrifolia) toward the right. Serpentine rock in the foreground. Yet another favorite of mine. Birding Transect Trail.
