In 2016, More Mesa continued to be a vital refuge for wildlife despite the ongoing drought. A rare pair of White-tailed Kites successfully fledged chicks, highlighting the area’s importance for this threatened species. Earthquake activity and local geology came into focus after a nearby tremor. Seasonal bird migrations brought familiar visitors like the White-crowned Sparrow, while native plants like Seacliff Buckwheat and Coastal California Poppies proved their resilience, supporting both ecological restoration and pollinator life during challenging summer months.
