Sea turtle nesting on a Ventura beach marks a first. What we know

A rare sea turtle discovered nesting on San Buenaventura State Beach in Ventura over the weekend marked a new first. Just weeks earlier, wildlife officials confirmed the first-ever recorded natural nesting for any sea turtle species on the U.S. West Coast. Both were olive ridley turtles . The turtles known for their heart-shaped shells normally stick to areas farther south in Mexico. But in September, the two turtles nested in Orange County. The first was spotted digging a nest and laying eggs near Seal Beach, officials said. Days later, a second turtle was discovered nesting near the Huntington Beach Pier, around 8 miles away. Experts said the exact reasons why the turtles showed up were unknown but called it likely that the warmer waters caused by a marine heat wave and El Niño were key factors. Navigational errors by the nomadic, highly migratory turtles also may have contributed, officials said. Now, a third sea turtle was found – this time, in a sandy spot in Ventura not far from the pier. The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service confirmed the discovery as the first-ever recorded natural nesting in Ventura County and the northern most known olive ridley sea turtle nest. Turtle

'First visitor' at new freeway overpass for wildlife in California

The Wallis Annenberg Wildlife Crossing in Southern California is still under construction, but at least one large critter has already discovered its value as a safe corridor above a major freeway. On October 28, according to the National Park Service, a motion-sensor camera captured a photo of "our first wildlife visitor" on the southern slope of the crossing, which spans the 101 Freeway at Liberty Canyon in the Santa Monica Mountains. As you might have guessed, the animal in the image is a coyote. "And that's just the beginning," Santa Monica Mountains National Park continued via Instagram . "In the coming days, NPS biologists will install remote wildlife cameras to track how mountain lions, bobcats, coyotes, mule deer, and other animals approach and eventually use the crossing. "The goal? To reconnect wildlife habitat in the Santa Monica Mountains and Simi Hills, long divided by one of the nation's busiest freeways, and study how this connection benefits wildlife for years to come." The Wallis Annenberg Wildlife Crossing , scheduled to open December 2, states on its website that the project is designed to "reconnect a fragmented landscape for all wildlife and pull the region's cougars back from the brink of extinction."

You plant drought-tolerant shrubs in Riverside and ease off the water, but Riverside Public Utilities says new shrubs need regular deep watering.

A drought-tolerant shrub can die if its new root ball dries out. Don't treat it as established just because the plant tag says drought tolerant. In Riverside, California, the UC Master Gardener Program of Riverside County recommends October and November for planting trees, shrubs and perennials. If you're planting now, plan for watering as well as the plant itself.
