I think there's 3 distinct anglo/caucasian populations in Petaluma/Sonoma County.

1. People who used to live in The City (aka SF) or East Bay when It Was Cool and have since moved up here.

2. People whose families have been here forEVER. Ranchers, farmers, city streets with the family name, etc.

3. People who moved here from somewhere else entirely, like me.

No judgment call on any of these.

(*I know nothing about the Hispanic population so I won't speak to that, and Petaluma, at least, seems to have very small african american, asian, south asian, etc population.)

Seabird monitoring at Bodega Rock today was really awesome. There was one or two pods of humpback whales offshore and some were breaching and lobtailing. Nice having the bird spotting scopes to see them in detail. That was pretty fantastic. (No I didn't get any pictures, sorry) And yes, Bodega Rock was very crowded as usual with cormorants, common murres (who are so friggin' cute), and lots of pinnipeds (also a scattering of seagulls and 3 pelicans) (we only count/monitor what's actually on the rock; lots of other stuff flew by) https://stewardscr.org/sonoma-coast-volunteer-program-seabird-monitoring/ #sonoma #sonomaCounty #sonomaCoast #stewardsOfTheCoastAndRedwoods
