A few months ago, Humboldt County had a severe case of owl fever. We all gawked at the ultra-rare great gray and snowy owls visiting our coastline, and forgot to appreciate the wildlife we see everyday.

Thankfully, LoCO friend and Redwood Planet Media photographer Alan Peterson didn’t forget. Check out his amazing shots of Humboldt Bay’s natural beauty.
