Bear in mind, even the plants have to find ways to survive, so virtually every one of them has some form of thorny defense. The Elephant Cactus , puts out a white tubular flower that open from late March, until early, June, and are visited by nectar feeding bats at night and many birds during the day.

Today’s post is written by Monte Merrick, wildlife rehabilitator and co-director of the Humboldt Wildlife Care Center/bird ally x in Arcata, CA. Less than 2000 grams – more sail, it seems, than bird. After going the through the “red tape” of the international border crossing, the bird was sent by jet to us in LA.
