Coyotes in Sonoma County: What to know about these wild canines
Though coyotes may wander and hunt alone or in pairs, they form very strong familial bonds and sing in family groups. Coyote parents appear to use their voices to play with, reassure, teach and discipline their youngsters as well as proclaim, “We are here” to the wider world.
How do we know it’s a coyote?
The difference between a coyote and a domestic dog can be subtle. Coyotes' thick fur is tan and rust brown with white and dark dappling. From a distance, adults can resemble a smaller, scrawnier version of a German shepherd but with a more pointed snout, smaller nose pad and sharp, pointed ears. They’re also faster than a shepherd, able to hit 40 mph in a sprint. A coyote’s most distinguishing feature may be its round bushy tail, which it carries low when running.
Coyotes patrol their territories and hunt during the day and at night, but they typically prefer night outings to avoid contact with humans. Mature coyotes are extremely agile and they can run, turn and pounce with a grace not seen in house pets. 
You can often tell coyotes are in the area because they mark their territory with scat (feces), leaving it visible in open areas like trails. Coyote scat usually contains large amounts of fur. 
How do coyotes survive?
Hunters describe coyotes as skilled and wily adversaries. They’re not only very observant and clever, they learn and adapt quickly. This has allowed them to thrive in the wild and outwit decades of human efforts to wipe them out.
Coyotes regularly spot our hidden wildlife cameras at Mark West Creek Regional Park & Preserve, Taylor Mountain Regional Park & Preserve and other county parks. They’re hunters with keen vision, excellent hearing and an outstanding sense of smell. They can move easily through the landscape, skillfully evading when necessary. To investigate something, they approach cautiously and watchfully. 
Coyotes will work together to hunt. For example, while one digs at a rodent burrow entrance, a second will watch escape holes. They will drive rabbits and other prey toward relatives waiting in the brush.

2024 Public Comments to Preliminary Applications
WWA has a winter “Backcountry Ambassador” program consisting of volunteers that help to educate winter recreationists and assist in signage maintenance on USFS lands, including a volunteer on the western portion of the Stanislaus NF. We would like to see the expansion of these types of programs, and therefore support the proposal for FOBAC to implement a volunteer snowmobile ambassador program. Their goals to educate users on etiquette and safety in the field, and help to foster positive relationships between motorized and non-motorized backcountry users are critical for winter recreation management in California. WWA would be also interested in sharing what we’ve learned from our winter volunteer work on the Stanislaus when FOBAC initiates their program. The Stanislaus is serving as a successful example of how implementation after OSV planning can lead to increased support for Forest Service goals, and improved winter recreation for everyone. This additional funding would help to reinforce that, and see those implementation goals achieved across the forest. WWA has been working with Snowlands and Tread Lightly to create and install signage for the western portion of the Stanislaus NF, and there remains a significant need for these materials to be funded and created for the eastern portion of the forest. We would hope to see FOBAC’s materials consistent with those being designed for the rest of the forest by working with Stanislaus NF staff and partners, to ensure cohesive recreation materials forestwide. Thank you for your consideration of our comments. We look forward to continuing to work collaboratively with public agencies and winter recreation stakeholders to help develop equitable and balanced recreation opportunities. Please do not hesitate to contact us if you have any questions. For more information, contact Kelly Bessem, WWA California Stewardship Manager OR Hilary Eisen, WWA Policy Director: heisen@winterwildlands.org Kelly Bessem, Winter Wildlands Alliance - 5/6/2024

Recruitment: Appointed Counsel for Trial Court Capital Habeas Matters
The Third District Regional Habeas Counsel Committee invites qualified attorneys whose primary place of business is within the Third District to apply to be appointed counsel in capital habeas corpus proceedings in trial courts within the Third District. Appointed Counsel will be responsible for defending clients in habeas corpus proceedings related to death sentences in a superior court within the Third District.
Doran Regional Park
The park is a destination for walking, picnicking, birdwatching, fishing, kayaking, body boarding, kite surfing and other water sports. A boat launch provides access to Bodega Bay and Bodega Harbor, and a jetty on the park's west end is a popular spot for rock fishing and exploring sea life.
Due to Doran's south-facing beach, waves here are typically calmer than elsewhere on the Sonoma Coast, making the park a favorite for families.
The park can be busy on holidays and summer weekends, and the entrance will close when the parking areas fill. On those days, plan to arrive by mid-morning and have an alternate destination in mind. 

Camping
Doran Regional Park features campsites for tents, trailers and RVs. Reservations are required and can be made up to 12 months in advance. 
The park includes five campground areas: The Shell, Gull and Cove campsites between Bodega Harbor and Doran Beach Road and the Jetty and Miwok campsites between Bodega Bay and Doran Beach Road. 

Electrical hook-ups are not available. Generator hours are 8 a.m. to 8 p.m.
Potable water is available.
Restrooms feature flush toilets, coin-operated showers and electrical outlets.
Dogs on leash are allowed with a fee.
Dump station fee is $7.

Trails
A walk along the shoreline at Doran Regional Park is approximately 2 miles one way from the rock jetty on the west end to the rock formations near Pinnacle Gulch on the east end.
A 1.3-mile trail passes through grassy dunes on the north edge of the beach and connects to an ADA-accessible boardwalk with benches and viewing areas.
Horses are allowed on a 1-mile stretch of beach at the east end of the park.
The .07-mile Cheney Creek Trail connects Doran to Birdwalk Coastal Access Trail by crossing the marsh adjacent to Bodega Harbor. 
Accessibility

ADA-accessible campsites can be reserved by calling Regional Parks' reservations office at (707) 565-2267 from 10 a.m.-3 p.m. Monday-Friday.

Doran Beach in winter: An insider's guide 
Others come to kiteboard, kayak or windsurf on the Bodega Harbor side of the park.

The boat launch and rock jetty on the park’s western end lures sport fishers, especially when Dungeness crab season opens in the fall, and Doran's campsites attract overnight visitors in tents, RVs and trailers. (Regional Parks members get one free night of camping.) The jetty can also be an exciting place to explore small sea life during low tide.
Dress for weather, watch for waves
Occasionally, winter afternoons at Doran Beach can be warm enough for a T-shirt, but it's smart to bring plenty of layers. Weather can be unsettled at Doran, a rolling fog layer quickly cooling a warm day. In winter, it’s a good idea to have rain jacket in the car, especially if it can double as a wind-breaker, as sometimes strong winds can create a breathtaking – though not very pleasant – beach experience.

Doran is the only Sonoma Coast beach that’s protected enough where wading and playing in the waves can be a safe, family-friendly experience. Nonetheless, the water is cold in winter and storms can blow in, so it’s always advisable to be aware of conditions and the possibility for rip currents and sleeper waves.
Even in winter, the best time of day at Doran Beach is when the park has fewer visitors and more breathtaking lighting: early morning (as the sun rises) or late afternoon (as the sun sets).

Paid too much (you get a refund)

Fishing for Coastal Cutthroat Trout

They prefer small, low-gradient coastal streams, estuaries, and lagoons with cool, clean water, ample cover, and deep summer holding pools.

South Fork Smith River.

(click to enlarge)

Angling
Due to their migratory behavior, large coastal cutthroat trout can be captured in streams and rivers when steelhead and salmon have migrated to the ocean. Adults in freshwater feed on benthic macroinvertebrates, terrestrial insects, and small fish. During winter, coastal cutthroat trout eat earthworms washed in by winter storms. In the marine environment, crustaceans and fish are the standard fare.

Stream Fishing

Target pools or slower-moving habitat with fallen logs and undercut banks.
Lures or small streamers on sink tip lines may work better than dry flies or nymphs that tend to catch more coastal rainbow trout.
Drift the streamer or lure toward cover and then strip or reel it away.
Trail a small nymph behind the streamer.
Drifting or stripping large terrestrial insect patterns may also be successful.
Or, target smaller creeks in which coastal cutthroat trout are the only trout present. The fish may be smaller, but the likelihood of catching a cutthroat is higher and dry flies can be quite successful.

Lagoons and Estuaries

Tend to have larger coastal cutthroat trout that typically stay on the move, looking for prey such as crustaceans or smaller ocean fish.
Cover lots of water by trolling with a streamer or small lure.
Or, try fishing near river mouths for those trout foraging on food drifting or swimming downstream.
Timing is important and good fishing periods are often associated with out-migrating salmon and steelhead fry.

Backcountry camping is also allowed throughout the property as long as the site is at least 150 feet from a water body, road, or trail, unless the area is posted as "Camping Prohibited." Camping for more than 3 nights or with 10 or more people requires a permit from a forest ranger.
Campers who prefer more amenities may camp at numerous nearby DEC campgrounds.

 Paddling
 

General information on paddling includes how-to and safety tips and links to rules and regulations.
Boaters and users of the area's larger lakes and the Adirondack Canoe Route enjoy the placid scenic backdrop provided by the surrounding landscape. Five miles of the Marion River and the section of the Raquette River lying below Long Lake are classified as Scenic under the Wild, Scenic and Recreational Rivers Program.
Buttermilk Falls has long been an attraction for canoe route users carrying along this rough stretch of the Raquette River. Easily accessible from North Point Road, the Falls also serve as an excellent destination for families. A few picnic tables afford visitors a spot to relax while enjoying this beautiful attraction, which is adjacent to the road.
Blue Mountain Lake has long been popular due to its clear waters and numerous small islands and mountain-ringed scenery. From the hamlet of Blue Mountain Lake, a route exists heading west into Eagle Lake and Utowana Lake. A half-mile carry (Bassett Carry) continues below the dam at the west end of Utowana Lake following the path of a former railroad. This trail bypasses the rapids on the Marion River and allows the public to continue the trip to Raquette Lake. The Marion River is canoeable in either direction.
The Raquette Lake-Forked Lake Canoe Carry easement provides access for paddlers between the two waterbodies. The easement also allows user to hike, ski, snowshoe or horseback ride on the property.
