It really pained me to think of all the poor animals who perished or were injured in the fire. One gut wrenching line I saw in an article described a badly burned Raccoon trying to get across a street and away form the fire… so sad.

However, I have a hard time being sad that the Coyote population was reduced, but am now more fearful of what the hunger will drive these predators to attempt.
we should all be extra careful with our pets for the foreseeable future.

I am one of the people whose house borders the state park. My house was saved even though the fire burned up to my property line. I have seen rabbits, coyotes and various small animals foraging around in the burn area already. The cycle goes on! I hope the state keeps the park closed for a while! Thanks to the fire fighters!!!

Depressing. Let’s hope for some rain to help nature out.

The red wing hawk who lives between County park and Korean church, survived.

I shot a picture of him today. Some blue jays are alive, very few coyotes.

Thank to the developers and the city “Fathers” for the tragedy of burning park and animals within it.

Perhaps the chars will take off some of the shine of their Judas silver.
