Habitat Trips
Today I took a trip through the strawberry canyon fire trails via the Tanglewood path. On the south edge of the trail was the Chaparral habitat. It was mostly low shrubbery and I was able to capture a few pictures of birds scavenging for food and calling to their mates. I took one poor photo of a blue bird with a black mohawk that I hope will be identified. Other than that I took a photo of a low lying plant with lots of moisture on its leaves, as if it were collecting water to drink. In addition, I found a centipede creature in some plants. On the north end of the trail I entered the moist evergreen forest. I was just that, moist. There I found creatures such as worm, slug, and fungus. It was dense and moist, perfect for these organisms to thrive. I also took a photo of a new pine as well as a fern. Overall, the evergreen had more to offer as far as diversity.
