The cactus are not the only things down here that are protected in this manner. Our local Mexican Ground Squirrels are quite fond of the Chaparral Prickly Pear , or Nopal Cactus as it is called locally.

You never know what your pooch may encounter while sniffing around the edges of the park and he needs to be protected in case he comes across a wild animal (like a squirrel) or simply an unhealthy dog.

The wood duck was very scarce in many portions of its range, at least in part, for the same reason and probably owes its present status to provision of nest boxes and protection from overhunting 1.” The ivory-billed and red- cockaded woodpeckers are currently on the endangered list, primarily as a result of habitat destruction.

The thought of an Oriole foraging in bare winter branches is as foreign as a Petrel on a pool and yet, there it was in my yard picking through an abandoned squirrel’s nest for what appeared to be spiders.
