The Red Jumping Spider (Phidippus formosus) does not make a permanent web, but hides and jumps out onto its prey.
The Alligator Lizard (Elgaria multicarinata) lives under stones and shrubs, hunting for insects and spiders during the day.
Anna's Hummingbird (Calypte anna) lives all year long in the garden, nesting in the trees.
These hummingbird nests blew down during winter storms. What do they consist of? Moss? Feathers? Sycamore fluff? Wood shavings?
The Monarch butterfly (Danaus plexippus) flies through the garden during the fall and winter. They are migrating and may have come from as far away as the Rocky Mountains.
