Forests up in Northern California have not only seen a lot of natural fires but also prescribed fires. For those that don't know, prescribed fires are an act of setting specific areas of trees on fire in the hope that it controls natural fire. You can see the fallen tree behind this Douglas' Squirrel is all charred. Human intervention is a strange thing to me. I guess it's human nature to try and control stuff, but I worry that this also devastates wild animal populations. Their resilience is impressive, though.
