Thanks for the thought-provoking question, ![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png)
castiron! I'd be interested in your answer, too.
What are your favorite local animals and plants? Are there any particular species that you miss from other places you've lived?
I've been really enjoying the song of the little house finches here in Oakland. They like to perch on the telephone wires and chat with each other around sunset. I haven't been hearing them lately - maybe they migrate for the winter. I didn't know which bird it was until someone told me recently, but I realized the sound was familiar from when I lived here before, and I had missed it.
I love the smell of eucalyptus in the warm sun when I'm biking up in the hills. There's less of that than there used to be, because those volatile oils make them go up like torches in a fire, so they've cut a lot of them down.
I used to whistle back to a bobwhite growing up in Virginia. Haven't heard those anywhere else I've lived. Just learned that it's all one word and a kind of quail when I looked up whether it's capitalized.
