Red Winged Blackbird | Kehoe Beach. This perched red winged blackbird was very nicely cooperative for this photo. This particular section of the trail was thick with them but this guy was the only one who let me get close and stick around long enough for a shot. Thanks buddy.

Point Reyes has the only surviving lifeboat station on the Pacific Coast with an intact marine railway. The lifeboat station has stood at the eastern tip of the Point Reyes peninsula (part of Point Reyes National Seashore) since 1927. In June of 2019, a crew launched a restored lifesaving boat along the marine railway and into the water of Drakes Bay.
From 1927 to 1968, the Pacific Area U.S. Coast Guard officers and crew members used motorized lifeboats to aid ships in distress. During World War I and World War II, the primary operations of the life-saving station shifted to coastal defense and harbor patrol.
