    The sky will hopefully treat us to the sight of the Draconid meteor shower from Oct. 6 to 10, peaking on Friday, Oct. 9. Fog permitting, it may be easy to view for two reasons. It radiates from the constellation Draco, which is next to the Little Dipper, a constellation that is easy to identify. And the new moon on Oct. 10 won’t shed much light to compete with meteors. The waning moon will bring some 6-foot and greater midday high tides. As sweater weather commences, trees are beginning to drop

The western snowy plover nesting season ends as these threatened shorebirds move into their winter flocks along the California coast. The largest local group may be seen at Abbott’s Lagoon, and the newest flock is near the mouth of Drake’s Estero. Some plovers…

    Nature’s fireworks are on display with the peak of the Perseid meteor shower on Wednesday, Aug. 12, when up to 60 meteors an hour may be seen in the eastern sky beginning at around 11 p.m. The new moon that same evening will leave us with a dark enough sky for some good viewing; hopefully, “Fogust” will leave a clear sky.

    This month’s full moon rises Wednesday, July 29, and its brilliance will wash out the peak of the Delta Aquariids meteor shower that evening.

In Anglo Saxon traditions, it is known as the “hay moon,” when farmers cut and dry hay for winter animal feed.
