Yep, I’m still in SF. Though not really updating here much anymore. Still working on the documentary this blog is connected to and working at KQED. Are you still in San Francisco, too?

Simply because of this, I knew when I first started to write a fiction project based on historical extinctions, that the Dodo would have to be my starting point.

So sorry it took me a week to get back to your comment!

I’m not in the mountains nearly often enough to observe plant migration myself–that’s so interesting that it’s something you’ve noticed. What about birds and mammals? Do you think they’ve followed the foxtail pines down?

Habitat is opening up here because snow-pack is either melting faster or there is less of it (probably both).

Another idea I have heard about this phenomenon is that, say in the Sierra Nevada, lower elevation habitat is opening up as sites become more xeric and as mesic species like willows die out, pines are moving downward into these sites which, as you say above, still foster cool pockets.
