Chief among these are three trees, known here as Huizaches (Sweet Acacia, Vachellia farnesiana), Granjenos (Spiny Hackberry, Celtis ehernbergiana), and Nopales (Prickly Pear, various species). But the area would not be home for more than 120 species, if it were not for those thorny trees. Humans like me enjoy eating them, too!

This is what we need for birds, whose rights as government-protected species are violated every day by free-roaming cats. Neighbor A’s private property and peace of mind are both suffering because of the cats, which are killing government-protected species. You call the SWAT team. What birds need is their own SWAT team.

The species that calls western Montana home is the black cottonwood, while plains and narrowleaf cottonwood call the rest of the state home. They shelter and shade, feed and bind. Humans have not helped. Near the river it’s a blizzard, complete with drifts on the sides of the path and white flotillas on the water.

Its amazing to me that there are still places on earth where wildlife is blissfully unafraid of humans. One of the sheltered bays on Isla Isabel. Lastly, due to its previous inaccessibility to humans and the absence of natural predators, the wildlife is bizarrely unafraid of humans, allowing for a truly unforgettable experience.

The layout of the lake has many small fingers that provide shelter, shallow water and many dense areas of Willow and Cottonwood trees. Human access is very limited to the lake, with very few hiking trails around the lake, mostly to the south area, which provides good viewing points to much of the lake.

According to a Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences study, human-induced climate change has doubled the area affected by forest fires in the western U.S. Since their habitat has been destroyed, wildlife become displaced and must spend more time searching for food, water and shelter. This is about 35 miles West of my home.

We encountered a vicious storm, that convinced us the take a break, find some shelter, and head into Eureka, California. Both species frequent the marina that I live in, and are quite common throughout the entire tidal areas of the La Paz area. Now, both Yellow-crowne d and Black-crowned Night Herons are part of my daily observations.
