Looks like Pogonomyrmex rugosus. I didn't realize they would be that close to the coast.

I only look for little half moon shaped mounds. Not worth the effort and time for a colony that's established (its hot I'm not digging more than 1 scoop). If I find any queens Ill make sure to drop one off as a finders fee. I might just be too late this year to start any new colonies.

I didn't see any in flight so maybe they decided not to mate? i went the day after the rains we had, it was very humid and very hot. most of the ground there is extremely hard and rocky so digging even a few inches has posed a challenge. There are plenty of ticks if you step off the trail so be careful.
