Pops of red from our native Chile Pequin are a signal of the upcoming holiday season. Loved by birds and humans alike, these pea-sized chiles pack fiery power and are about five times hotter than a jalapeno. The fruits are bird-dispersed by Curve-billed Thrashers, Mockingbirds and many other species. While birds are unbothered by the heat, humans have come to love the delicious pain that comes from these native chiles. Learn more about plants and animals tomorrow for our weekly "Walk With A Naturalist" program, offered Wednesdays from 9 AM - 10 AM. Included with park admission.

We hope you brought out your winter coats because the birds have! In colder temperatures, birds will puff up their feathers to trap heat in tiny air pockets in between their feathers- kind of like a coat. These Inca Doves are keeping warm next to each other waiting for some sun and some seed! Join us tomorrow for our weekly "Walk With A Naturalist" program, offered Wednesdays from 9 AM - 10 AM. Included with park admission.
