Point Pinos Specific Natural History
Birds - Monterey is on a major migratory path and is a highlight area for birders.
Bugs - We have em. Not as many as when I was a kid, but they are here!
Lichens - on stones, trees, and buildings. Often unnoticed and ignored.
Mammals - Deer, elk and wild boar fed many in our early years, as did squirrels, and even gophers.
Plants - Images and Wiki links to each species. Poison oak has been cleared for those of us who are allergic to it.
Each of the pages above has specific links to information for that group and species. PGMNH has quick guides for birds/butterflies and a larger guide for birds, for purchase.
Turkeys, pigeons, sparrows, rats and pigs (feral and as livestock) came after California became a state, as 'introduced' species.
All of the signs, maps, etc. Visit the Point Pinos Lighthouse Museum before you come to see for yourself!
Includes WWII/Coast Guard/NOAA
