Humboldt Animals

This is actually really exciting!
When we were driving through the city to Humboldt, I saw a horse trailer with something weird in it. Thought it might be a horse or a llama (it was sort of far away in traffic so I couldn't tell). Then we pulled up next to it and it was a camel! It had an open-backed trailer and it said in cheesy letters "Hi, my name is Kazzie the Camel". Funny!


And then, while we were driving up north about 3 hours out of SF, we saw a sign that said "Elk Crossing". Matt said, "that's stupid, who ever heard of elk around here," but then we looked out the window and saw a bunch of elk! You can't really see them in the picture, but oh well. They were Tule elk, I think, a big group of females, but we couldn't find the male.


Finally, when we went to the Arcata marsh (a working sewage treatment plant! neat!) we found a night heron! It was just sitting there right off the path, so still we weren't sure if it was real. I admit, we actually threw rocks in its general direction to see if it looked over (it did).

Sort of hard to see, but it's the white/dark blue spot in the midde of the picture. This is what they look like up close (not my picture):
