My Little Pocket Mouse song is coming along!Category: Animal Songs Published: Thursday, March 11, 2010
Litttle Pocket Mouse © B. Moose Peterson/WRP Dear Friends, As you know, I am currently writing a new animal song for kids Here's what I've written so far: I'm small and furry, watch me scurry! And when the sun begins to rise, Oh, where's your house?" "It's underground Where I can not be found. Oh no, no, no. I'm a mouse who likes my privacy,
With lots of seeds in their big cheek pockets,
As I mentioned in my last blog post, I first learned about the Little Pocket Mouse when I went on a hike in San Onofre State Beach in San Clemente, California. There I learned that the Pacific Pocket Mouse was a hero of sorts, because it's endangered status is one of the key things that kept a new toll road from being built right through its habitat in San Onofre State Beach. When an animal has been declared endangered, wildlife protection laws usually also protect their habitat, and it very difficult to get approval to build on that habitat or put a road through it. San Onofre is a very beautiful park and many people believe that the Little Pacific Pocket Mouse saved this park from being nearly destroyed! Stay tuned to find out how I tell this part of the hero story in my song! -Birdsong (of Birdsong and the Eco-Wonders
