River loves the tranquility and beauty. Bird watching on our Northern California coast. Living rurally, he is surrounded by forests every day. Mushroom hunting in winter is a staple of rainy day activities.
Owls! Especially burrowing owls, because they are so dignified and cute. They are so quiet and fierce yet adorable. We have an owl cam nest box video that he has watched for years.
Living in the coastal redwood belt, River loves tree climbing and romping through the local old growth forest. We have a huge demonstration forest near us that has miles of trails, the local bike club is a huge steward of the land cleaning as the ride when able.
