e are thrilled to see smiling faces and events back on the calendar! One that we are so excited about is the Morro Bay Kites Festival set for April 29 through May 1! We look forward to seeing all the different shapes and colors; however, our all-time favorite is the squids, for sure!

So much has changed since we adopted Morro Bay life back in September 2019; little did we know that no more than six months later, the world would change like never before.

However, we made it through, and we thank everyone who supported and kept us going! We are happy to be on your team.

So here we are now, after deciding in 2020 that we wanted to grow and not die as a company. We picked up five new publications and now serve the entire county of San Luis Obispo with great magazines, have a really young and fun team of 13 employees (yes, they are all Stars). We also serve Santa Ynez Valley with the SYV Star and the amazing City of Malibu with The Malibu Times and Malibu Times Magazine.

We've all watched the world change (or not) over the past

two years, and it seems as though Abraham Lincoln was right — you will be just as happy as you make your mind up to be.

Our team likes the real world. We like real people. We like creating something you can keep on the counter or coffee table.

We like printing something worth reading.

Since the beginning, you have given us something worth writing about, and we thank you from the bottom of our hearts, and you can thank all our advertisers for making it all possible by shopping their stores and making a new friend for life. We all appreciate it.

We hope you enjoy this month's issue of Morro Bay Life.

Stay Blessed, Hayley & N ic

CITY

Coastal News Briefs MORRO BAY Morro Bay Launches Business Survey The Morro Bay Chamber of Commerce, in partnership with the City of Morro Bay, released a survey for the Morro Bay businesses in the waterfront and downtown areas.

The survey has seven (7) questions and is estimated to take five minutes. The survey is confidential. The answers will be shared in aggregate form in a report that will be published in April.

The purpose of this survey is to listen to the needs of the business community and explore possible solutions. While the Morro Bay Tourism Business Improvement District, aka Visit Morro Bay, focuses on bringing overnight visitors to the City, the survey seeks ideas to draw midweek and offseason customers that are local or visiting for the day.

“The business community has talked about different options for generating commerce during the week and off-peak season for years. This survey will provide data to inform decisions moving forward for events, beautification, marketing, and possibly even a Business Improvement District,” said Morro Bay Chamber of Commerce President and CEO Erica Crawford.

“We are very excited to launch this business survey and hear from the business owners,” said Morro Bay City Manager Scott Collins. “As the city council begins to set priorities for the next fiscal year, we are looking for ways to collaborate with the businesses and the other organizations that are promoting our area.”

In addition to the survey, the Morro Bay Chamber will conduct two focus groups with a cross-section of business owners to share innovative ideas and explore funding options.

The survey will be open until Sunday, April 10. Morro Bay businesses can complete the survey here surveymonkey.com/r/MorroBayBiz

TASTE OF AMERICANA

A ' pril Showers, Bring May Flowers' BARBIE BUTZ Commentary

I

f I could carry a tune, I’d sing the following song to you. Instead, I’ll just send you the words via print. It’s my favorite “April” music, and with everything that has been going on in our world, the words are meaningful if you try hard to relate.

The title is “April Showers,” with words

by B.G. deSilva, music by Louis Silvers, and was published in 1921.

“Though April showers may come your way They bring the flowers that bloom in May So if it’s raining, have no regrets Because it isn’t raining rain, you know, It’s raining violets.

And when you see clouds upon the hills You soon will see crowds of daffodils So keep on looking for a bluebird, And list’ning for his song Whenever April showers come along.”

In April, Christians celebrate the resurrection of Jesus from the dead, as described in the New Testament as having occurred on the third day of his burial following his crucifixion by the Romans at Calvary c. 30 AD. Easter, like Christmas, is a religious holiday that has a commercial side to it, with the entrance of the Easter Bunny replacing Santa Claus. I like to think of it as a religious holiday, but also a time to gather with family and friends to celebrate the rebirth of the

earth after winter’s ways.

Often, ham is the choice of meat for an Easter gathering. My search for this month’s recipes was for ways to bake the ham for Easter and then use the leftover ham in a different way. I hope you will like what I found.

WILDLIFE

Hopping Down the Trail

By BETTY HARTIG for Morro Bay Life

S

mall furry rabbits are often only thought about during Easter time, but they are around throughout the entire year. The little creatures can be seen hopping around the shrubs that line the Bob Jones Trail in the early morning hours or right before sunset. Rabbits pop in and out of vegetation, frequently in a zigzag sprint, which helps avoid being caught by any of the abundant wildlife waiting for an opportunity to devour a tasty bunny meal. The cottontail must always be on high alert.

The brush rabbit (Sylvilagus bachmani) is the cottontail species seen along the coastal area in California, and we have plenty of them. Brush rabbits are a wary and secretive dark gray mammals with strong mediumlength legs, a fluffy short tail with white underneath, and distinctive long pointed ears that are used to detect and avoid predators.

Adults are usually about 11 to 14 inches long and weigh 18-32 ounces. The brush rabbit is confined to the Pacific coast from the Columbia River to the tip of Baja California.

It does not live east of the Sierra Nevada and Cascades. Brush rabbits, just like their name suggests, require dense brushy habitat. The rabbit forms a crisscross pattern of runways throughout the thick vegetation. The Bob

Jones Pathway in Avila Beach is one of many trails that provides a comfortable oak and conifer environment for the brush rabbit to easily flourish.

What does a brush rabbit eat? Bugs Bunny, the animated cartoon character, led us to believe rabbits feasted on carrots. Despite this depiction, carrots are not a principal food for rabbits. Brush rabbits have 28 teeth, thus allowing them to feed on grasses, forbs, berries, and shrubs. Their preferred food is green clover, and yes, occasionally, they will nibble on a favorite garden plant of yours! Just like Beatrix Potter’s, Peter Rabbit snacked in Mr. McGregor’s garden; rabbits often take excursions into domestic areas.

Brush rabbits come out at dusk and dawn to feed. During the day, rabbits rest, but it is not unusual to see this mainly nocturnal fauna venture out during a sunny day for short periods of time. It normally is a quick dash out, a few munches, then back to the safety of the shrubs.

A brush rabbit does not dig or build its own den; it uses the burrow of other species, brush piles, or forms. Although far from a member of the deer family, female rabbits are called does, and males are called bucks.

In California, breeding season begins in December and ends in May or June. The gestation period is around 27 days. The average litter size is 3-4 babies. They produce

(Top) Brush rabbit eating, (Bottom) Local Brush rabbit. Photos by Betty Hartig

about 15 young in up to five litters per year.

That makes for a lot of bunnies hopping year around. Babies are called kits or kittens.

The young are born altricial, which refers to being undeveloped. Newborns eyes are closed, are furless, and with the inability to regulate their own temperature. The kits remain for about 14 days in a covered-lined nest. You may wonder where or how the word “bunny” originated? It is thought to come from bun, a regional word used for both a rabbit and squirrel in England around the 1500s. Nowadays, it generally refers to a baby rabbit.

Mountain lions, coyotes, bobcats, weasels, snakes, and various raptors are brush rabbit hunters. Rabbits use several survival strategies, such as remaining immobile for a long time, serpentine running in open spaces, and the ability to climb onto low branches. Body-color keeps them camouflaged in wooded land zones. An additional anatomical benefit these little animals possess is their eye location. Eyes placed on the sides of their heads allow a 360-degree vision for detecting potential threats. Even with all these preventions, the

lifespan of the rabbit is relatively short. It is interesting to note that when frightened, the rabbit’s response is usually foot thumping that can last for several minutes.

Bunnies, as they are fondly referred to, for the most part, are a joy to see while wandering on a trail. Rabbits are an essential part of the ecosystem as herbivores. They also provide a food source to other animals. How the rabbit became associated with Easter eggs is another story. Enjoy the wildlife that lives in our area. Nature is full of fascinating life forms, each one uniquely designed and interesting to learn about. Look around while walking or hiking, and you are sure to catch a glimpse of something special; perhaps a brush rabbit will hippity-hop down the trail right before your eyes.
