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

I first thought about writing a kids' song about sharks after visiting an aquarium and seeing these fascinating creatures up close. I could not fit all the things I learned about sharks into one song, so I have included a list of fun facts about sharks below, as well as some photos. Interesting Facts about the fascinating sharks: -There are about 350 different types of sharks, but researchers think there are other sharks that haven't been discovered yet! -The dwarf shark is as small as your hand, while the whale shark can be as large as a school bus! -A shark is one of the best hunters in the world. Even their little pups go out looking for food. -A shark's hunger can be satisfied with one good meal. The meal can last a long time because a shark uses little energy to swim. Some sharks hold food in their stomachs without it being digested. If they eat a big meal, it can last three or more months! Watch our music video KEEP THE OCEAN CLEANCategory: Animal Song Videos Published: Friday, May 07, 2010 I asked my friends, the dolphins, what each of us could do to help them survive another million years or two. And the dolphins said: “Keep the ocean clean! That’s the most important thing.Please . . .Pick your trash up off the beach. Recycle 'most everything.. Find out what pollutes the sea. And ask your friends to help keep the ocean clean. After all, the ocean is our home,”
