BirdNote Daily - 3 May 2022: *Ponderosa Pine Savanna - In a Western ponderosa pine savanna, tall pines dot an open, grassy landscape.

Downhill, the trees give way to an open grassland. The open structure of this savanna, found on mountain slopes from the Rockies to the Cascades, results from recurring natural fires. Fast-moving blazes sweep through, burning the low vegetation but sparing the larger trees, which are protected by very thick bark. After a fire, grass and wildflowers re-grow quickly.

The largest species is the Emperor Penguin, and one project counted around 80,000 feathers on a single bird. That's nearly sixty per square inch - keeping the penguin insulated and waterproof in harsh climates. But the most feathered creature ever? It may have been a dinosaur!
