From the Directorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Deskâ&#x20AC;Ś

Hello Encinitas,

I hope everyone is having a nice holiday season. Staff has been busy coordinating new classes for residents to enjoy. Some of these classes include: Yoga 4 Kids, Family Yoga, Embracing Essential Oils and a Luminary Workshop. The department is also busy working on the Standard Pacific Park Site, Trail 82 along Rancho Santa Fe Road, and Trail 95 along El Camino Del Norte. We are also planning to install new playground equipment at Moonlight Beach Park. We look forward to bringing these wonderful new facilities to our residents. The department offers amazing events, classes, programs, concerts, art exhibits and so much more. We have beautiful parks, beaches and trails for you to enjoy as well. This year try a new program or take a hike on a trail. There is so much exploring to be done in Encinitas.

Enjoy an evening of visual art, live music, and refreshments, as Encinitas civic and local art galleries swing open their doors at Art Night Encinitas. The event celebrates the city’s diverse visual art scene at participating locations and is free to the public. Upcoming Art Nights will take place on Saturdays, from 6:009:00 p.m., on February 1, April 11, June 6, August 1, October 3, and November 21, 2020. “Art Night Encinitas was conceived by the Commission for the Arts as a way to highlight the civic art galleries and our thriving visual art scene,” said Commission for the Arts Chair Collette Stefanko. In 2020, 50 exhibits by local artists will be presented in the City's three civic art galleries along with a myriad of local artists at participating art galleries. The bi-monthly art open houses also benefits artists through the sale of their art and provides the public an opportunity to interact with artists and learn about the creative process. Catch a ride on one of the shuttle buses which will transport the public to and from all locations. Please park at Encinitas City Hall, the Encinitas Community Center and the Encinitas Library to easily access the shuttle.

WINTER MONTHS Make For GREAT WHALE WATCHING The winter months are prime. So in this issue, we’re sharing inside scoop for you to enjoy both! Here’s a map showing Gray Whale migration from Alaska to the warm waters of Baja Sur, Mexico.

OCTOBER

Encinitas is home to some of the best whale watching spots along the San Diego coastline.

FALL MIGRATION: As nothern

waters begin to freeze, gray whales head to Mexico's warm water for the winter.

Gray whales (Eschrichtius robustus) migrate south each year from Alaska to Baja Sur, Mexico from October to February. Gray whales, both males and females, head south to the warm waters of San Ignacio Lagoon, Ojo de Liebre and Magdalena Bay to mate, have their babies and nurse their young to a size that affords them strength for the journey back to Alaska. Traveling in groups called pods, some of these giants swim 12,430 miles round-trip. In April, the journey back northward to Alaska begins.

NOVEMBER

Gray whales swim 24 hours a day for over 5,000 miles to reach the warm lagoons of Mexico.

Most gray whales migrate within 2.5 miles of the West Coast, making whale watching from the tall overlook areas in Encinitas possible. APRIL - MAY

SPRING MIGRATION: Most adults gray whales begin to migrate north in April. Mothers and newborns will be the last to leave the lagoons.
