Of the hundreds of aviary species around us here, many of which so rare or endangered that they are protected by international laws, one of the largest and most graceful is the Great Blue Heron. A bird of such uncommon beauty no matter how many times we are blessed with its presence, we stop in our tracks to appreciate the sight…
Kory has worked miracles as a catalyst in this community, bringing together those in need with those who can provide what is needed.

We in Rocky Point and environs are fortunate to be blessed with such great beaches. I have read recently of sea turtle hatchlings finding their way to beaches of Las Conchas from the Sea of Cortez It took me back to an experience from around a million years ago when I was in my late twenties.
I was visiting relatives at the beach. We were sitting around after dinner when the phone rang. It was a neighbor who proclaimed, “They’re coming in.”

Essay by guest blogger, Jack Hecker–We had just finished a golf game and were sitting around drinking beer and lying, which is what most of us do best. I explained I would not be playing the next week because I was going to Rocky Point. You mean Mexico? Are you crazy, they asked? They’re killing people left and right down there.

Fittingly labeled the “Retro Rocky Point Invitational Beach Volleyball Tournament”, Luis Garrido of Outta Town Productions (OTP) is reviving his Beach Volleyball Tournament after a one year hiatus. Technically, the tournament is an “open” event rather than an invitational, since Luis invites all beach volleyball aficionados to enjoy a weekend of fun competition on the beach in Rocky Point.
It’s almost as if nature set them up for a limited existence on earth. Although their ancestors have been around for a couple of million years, the tiny (in comparison) Vaquita (Phocoena sinus) porpoise lives in a very small area covering just 4,000 square kilometers of the 177,000 sq. km. Sea of Cortez.
About 15 years ago a Christmas Angel Tree program was started to help special needs children have a merry Christmas. You’ve seen the Angel Tree concept in U.S. malls where you can take a small angel from a large Christmas tree and each angel has a child’s name, age, clothing and shoe size and you can purchase and wrap a present that will go directly to the child.
