Chinese Flame tree is the "early" ornamental, Cedar waxwings arrive
Winter storms remove sand from our local beaches
A Chinese Flame tree in full bloom in Southern California.
Chinese Flame Trees Are Starting To Display colorful clusters of orange, reddish, or salmon-pink seed pods. Good specimens line the south end of Balboa Drive in Balboa Park, and Lake Murray Boulevard through San Diego’s San Carlos neighborhood. Most of the remainder of San Diego’s ornamental trees will continue to remain drab until November, the onset of “autumn,” botanically speaking.
The Cedar Waxwing is named for its wax-like wing tips
Cedar Waxwings Are Making Their Way to Southern California. Arriving as early as September and hanging out through April, they almost look like they are made of porcelain, so perfectly crafted are their feathers. As for the name: waxy red droplets may dot the ends of their flight feathers, formed by the wax of the small fruits they consume. Keep an ear open for their high-pitched trills as they flock around the highest branches of trees. Balboa Park is a favorite hangout.
Large waves and high tides remove lots of sand from our beaches every winter.
As the Beach Season Winds Down, San Diego County’s coastline is being padded by what are likely the deepest and widest accumulations of sand we’ll see this year. Many stretches of the coastline are vulnerable to powerful waves associated with winter storms. This wave action can pull sand off the beaches and deposit it offshore, leaving behind nothing but cobble beds — especially in North County. During the spring and summer, gentle wave action usually returns much of the sand, usually in time for the arrival of the summer tourists.
