Slanting sunlight streams through blue-oak canopy as we enter Escobar Gate in the late afternoon. Cresting the first ridge, we glimpse a hangout of five bucks, somewhat startled, hurrying down to the shelter of forest. Sharp-eyed Grassroots Ecology interns notice tiny flowers, backlit spiderweb – Soap Plant setting seeds – Common Ringlet butterfly on Coast Live Oak, butterfly larva on Hayfields Tarweed, and more. A rare evening hike from Escobar Gate.
