January 17, 2013 - Inspecting the Islands
Santa Barbara has just about every geographic feature one could wish for. Although the Channel Islands do not have heavy foot traffic from tourists,
they are as spectacular as any area of our little piece of paradise.
On Wednesday morning, a whole lot of pelicans and other sea creatures flocked around Leadbetter Beach for a massive feeding frenzy. One subscriber
shared a video of the unusual event, click here to see mother nature at work.
In local news: The victim of the fatal hit and run has been identified, Christopher Lloyd sold his Montecito residence, and the Los Padres National Forest
officials announced several prescribed burn projects. Read these stories and more, below.
