Moist Evergreen Forest

I went on a hike at the north side of Strawberry Canyon,this is a perfect location to do the observation. I started the hike from the football field.

1. I observed a couples of moist evergreen Ferns. I realized that those ferns located near the river, and it has large long leaves. I assume the long leaves can absorb sun light and water. Those trees are almost 20 meters high, and the leaves are really green and dark.
2. I saw a numbers of birds flew really low, and they were walking on the ground about 3 meters in front of me. They were looking for the food such as leaves and insects. One thing surprise me is that they did not afraid human walking really close to them.
3. I saw a tree that has a lot of beautiful red fruits. This tree does not grow really high, but the leaves are really green, and the fruits look really full.
4. I saw the Chilopoda slowly Crawling in the surface of a wood. I realized that Chilopoda has multiple legs, and they enjoy the moist environment.
5. I saw a red wood tree that does not have any leaves, it still grow really strong. Red wood absorb huge amount of sunlight and water when they grow.
