I'm Jim Welch with
02:03.500 --> 02:05.666 align:left position:22.5% line:83% size:67.5%
naturalist Rudy Mancke.
And we're at Fairyland point,
02:05.666 --> 02:10.466 align:left position:27.5% line:83% size:62.5%
the elevation here
about 7758 feet.
02:10.466 --> 02:11.300 align:left position:32.5% line:83% size:57.5%
Rudy: And we're
gonna have a
02:11.300 --> 02:12.766 align:left position:25% line:83% size:65%
wonderful time today,
just with
02:12.766 --> 02:14.433 align:left position:30% line:83% size:60%
beautiful views,
if nothing else,
02:14.433 --> 02:16.033 align:left position:25% line:83% size:65%
and yet there's a lot
more to see here, too.
02:16.033 --> 02:18.700 align:left position:32.5% line:83% size:57.5%
The geological
story is wonderful.
02:18.700 --> 02:20.800 align:left position:25% line:65% size:65%
I think we need to
start with that.
02:20.800 --> 02:22.766 align:left position:27.5% line:65% size:62.5%
Talk about the past
a little bit and how
02:22.766 --> 02:25.000 align:left position:15% line:65% size:75%
these formations came to be.
02:25.000 --> 02:26.166 align:left position:22.5% line:83% size:67.5%
But then the plants and
animals that we're
02:26.166 --> 02:27.266 align:left position:27.5% line:83% size:62.5%
going to find here
should be
02:27.266 --> 02:28.433 align:left position:27.5% line:83% size:62.5%
interesting because
there's a great
02:28.433 --> 02:31.000 align:left position:25% line:83% size:65%
variety of habitats.
I like to mix at
02:31.000 --> 02:32.300 align:left position:30% line:83% size:60%
this place. It's
really not that
02:32.300 --> 02:34.800 align:left position:32.5% line:83% size:57.5%
large as far as
national parks go,
02:34.800 --> 02:36.433 align:left position:17.5% line:83% size:72.5%
but it has a lot to offer.
And of course,
02:36.433 --> 02:38.500 align:left position:37.5% line:83% size:52.5%
what really
brings people here
02:38.500 --> 02:40.400 align:left position:27.5% line:83% size:62.5%
is a view like the
one behind us of
02:40.400 --> 02:41.833 align:left position:25% line:89% size:65%
Bryce Canyon itself.
02:41.833 --> 02:43.600 align:left position:30% line:83% size:60%
Jim: Now this is
called Fairyland, I
02:43.600 --> 02:45.500 align:left position:30% line:83% size:60%
guess because of
these figures, which
02:45.500 --> 02:47.566 align:left position:32.5% line:83% size:57.5%
take on strange
shapes. Hoodoos the
02:47.566 --> 02:48.500 align:left position:27.5% line:83% size:62.5%
Paiutes called it.
Yeah,
02:48.500 --> 02:49.600 align:left position:32.5% line:83% size:57.5%
Rudy: that's a
pretty neat name.
02:49.600 --> 02:50.900 align:left position:30% line:83% size:60%
And really, they
they're formed
02:50.900 --> 02:52.600 align:left position:25% line:83% size:65%
because there's hard
rock on top
02:52.600 --> 02:55.066 align:left position:27.5% line:83% size:62.5%
protecting the rock
beneath it from erosion.
02:55.066 --> 02:58.200 align:left position:17.5% line:89% size:72.5%
Lake bed sediments is what
02:58.200 --> 03:00.200 align:left position:12.5% line:89% size:77.5%
this is thought to be basically
03:00.200 --> 03:02.400 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
Paleocene, an age around
60 million years ago,
03:02.400 --> 03:05.033 align:left position:30% line:83% size:60%
there was a lake
here filled with sediments.
03:05.033 --> 03:06.866 align:left position:25% line:89% size:65%
Basically, these are
03:06.866 --> 03:09.866 align:left position:25% line:83% size:65%
limestones and a few
siltstones varying
03:09.866 --> 03:12.233 align:left position:27.5% line:83% size:62.5%
in their hardness.
So that, you know,
03:12.233 --> 03:13.300 align:left position:22.5% line:89% size:67.5%
allows them to weather
03:13.300 --> 03:14.633 align:left position:27.5% line:83% size:62.5%
differentially and
give you these little,
03:14.633 --> 03:16.766 align:left position:32.5% line:83% size:57.5%
little Hoodoos
things that stick out.
03:16.766 --> 03:19.266 align:left position:12.5% line:89% size:77.5%
And then the Colorado Plateau,
03:19.266 --> 03:21.733 align:left position:27.5% line:83% size:62.5%
we know began to be
uplifted 10 15
03:21.733 --> 03:23.400 align:left position:27.5% line:83% size:62.5%
million years ago,
when is the uplift
03:23.400 --> 03:25.166 align:left position:27.5% line:83% size:62.5%
started, there were
rivers running on that rock.
03:25.166 --> 03:27.200 align:left position:25% line:89% size:65%
As you lift them up,
03:27.200 --> 03:29.100 align:left position:22.5% line:83% size:67.5%
they began to cut down
through the rock and
03:29.100 --> 03:31.366 align:left position:27.5% line:83% size:62.5%
give you beautiful
canyons like this.
03:31.366 --> 03:32.800 align:left position:30% line:83% size:60%
And of course you
see other plateaus.
03:32.800 --> 03:33.966 align:left position:15% line:89% size:75%
Look at them in the distance
03:33.966 --> 03:35.800 align:left position:27.5% line:83% size:62.5%
Jim: Way out there
is Aquarius Plateau,
03:35.800 --> 03:37.500 align:left position:27.5% line:83% size:62.5%
the highest plateau
in all of North America
03:37.500 --> 03:39.166 align:left position:32.5% line:83% size:57.5%
that's between
10 and 11,000 feet.
03:39.166 --> 03:41.633 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
Rudy: Yeah, it's amazing,
because we're not
03:41.633 --> 03:43.633 align:left position:20% line:89% size:70%
sure exactly what brought
03:43.633 --> 03:45.700 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
the Colorado Plateau up.
And of course,
03:45.700 --> 03:47.933 align:left position:27.5% line:83% size:62.5%
it's not one thing.
It's a number of
03:47.933 --> 03:50.233 align:left position:27.5% line:83% size:62.5%
plateaus together.
But it's interesting
03:50.233 --> 03:52.200 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
to see the effects of it.
And those little
03:52.200 --> 03:54.633 align:left position:10% line:89% size:80%
lines sticking out of formations
03:54.633 --> 03:57.300 align:left position:20% line:89% size:70%
are usually called fins.
03:57.300 --> 03:59.166 align:left position:27.5% line:83% size:62.5%
And sometimes those
actually break
03:59.166 --> 04:00.733 align:left position:27.5% line:83% size:62.5%
through and you get
natural bridges and
04:00.733 --> 04:02.466 align:left position:25% line:83% size:65%
other things will be
looking for signs like that.
04:02.466 --> 04:03.966 align:left position:22.5% line:89% size:67.5%
But again, this is the
04:03.966 --> 04:06.833 align:left position:32.5% line:83% size:57.5%
work of water.
Not only streams now but
04:06.833 --> 04:08.866 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
water getting in cracks,
freezing expanding,
04:08.866 --> 04:11.566 align:left position:22.5% line:89% size:67.5%
and causing the rock to
04:11.566 --> 04:12.633 align:left position:30% line:89% size:60%
to weather away.
04:12.633 --> 04:15.166 align:left position:30% line:83% size:60%
Jim: Here. There
Lone Tree hangs on.
04:15.166 --> 04:16.533 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
Rudy: Yep. And isn't that
neat? Because again,
04:16.533 --> 04:18.666 align:left position:27.5% line:83% size:62.5%
that tree you think
at first well, it's
04:18.666 --> 04:20.266 align:left position:27.5% line:83% size:62.5%
holding everything
in place. In fact,
04:20.266 --> 04:22.633 align:left position:25% line:83% size:65%
it's not. It is to a
degree but it's
04:22.633 --> 04:24.933 align:left position:30% line:83% size:60%
causing cracks in
the rock. water gets
04:24.933 --> 04:27.033 align:left position:35% line:83% size:55%
down in there
freezes expands and
04:27.033 --> 04:29.500 align:left position:27.5% line:83% size:62.5%
causes the edges to
fall in. And of course,
04:29.500 --> 04:31.533 align:left position:17.5% line:89% size:72.5%
this is a work in progress.
04:31.533 --> 04:34.433 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
It's continuing to form.
Really streams
04:34.433 --> 04:36.966 align:left position:25% line:83% size:65%
are cutting headward
slowly but surely
04:36.966 --> 04:38.433 align:left position:20% line:89% size:70%
wearing these edges away.
04:39.700 --> 04:41.433 align:left position:30% line:83% size:60%
Jim: The average
annual precipitation
04:41.433 --> 04:44.000 align:left position:30% line:83% size:60%
here is about 16
inches a year but
04:44.000 --> 04:46.066 align:left position:27.5% line:83% size:62.5%
even with that this
edge recedes about
04:46.066 --> 04:47.566 align:left position:20% line:89% size:70%
one foot every 50 years.
04:47.566 --> 04:48.933 align:left position:32.5% line:83% size:57.5%
Rudy: And it's
amazing to see work
04:48.933 --> 04:50.366 align:left position:35% line:83% size:55%
like this and
realize the hand of
04:50.366 --> 04:52.000 align:left position:27.5% line:83% size:62.5%
man had nothing to
do with it.
04:52.000 --> 04:54.233 align:left position:22.5% line:83% size:67.5%
That makes it even more
spectacular to me.
04:54.233 --> 04:55.900 align:left position:17.5% line:83% size:72.5%
Few plants coming in here.
Here's one we're
04:55.900 --> 04:57.633 align:left position:10% line:89% size:80%
going to see probably all day in
04:57.633 --> 04:59.966 align:left position:15% line:83% size:75%
a great variety of habitats.
Greenleaf Manzanita
04:59.966 --> 05:02.033 align:left position:30% line:89% size:60%
and that a beauty
05:02.033 --> 05:03.433 align:left position:25% line:83% size:65%
Jim: Name comes from
the Spanish for
05:03.433 --> 05:05.033 align:left position:30% line:83% size:60%
little apples and
fruit I guess looks
05:05.033 --> 05:06.033 align:left position:25% line:89% size:65%
like a little apple.
05:06.033 --> 05:07.466 align:left position:27.5% line:83% size:62.5%
Rudy: Right and you
can see that reddish
05:07.466 --> 05:09.900 align:left position:25% line:83% size:65%
look on the stems of
that plant that
05:09.900 --> 05:11.766 align:left position:32.5% line:83% size:57.5%
makes it easily
identified and the
05:11.766 --> 05:14.366 align:left position:17.5% line:89% size:72.5%
leaves stay on year round.
05:14.366 --> 05:16.533 align:left position:17.5% line:83% size:72.5%
probably grow up no higher
than the snow level you
05:16.533 --> 05:19.000 align:left position:27.5% line:83% size:62.5%
know was during the
the last winter.
05:19.000 --> 05:20.666 align:left position:22.5% line:83% size:67.5%
The other plant up here
that's pretty common
05:20.666 --> 05:22.766 align:left position:30% line:83% size:60%
it looks like is
Curl Leaf Mountain Mahogany.
05:22.766 --> 05:25.633 align:left position:40% line:83% size:50%
Member of
the rose family.
05:25.633 --> 05:27.000 align:left position:32.5% line:83% size:57.5%
There's another
species here that I
05:27.000 --> 05:29.633 align:left position:27.5% line:83% size:62.5%
bet we'll see later
on. But took both of
05:29.633 --> 05:31.166 align:left position:35% line:83% size:55%
those seem to
dominate as far as
05:31.166 --> 05:33.233 align:left position:25% line:83% size:65%
shrubs are concerned
right here on the edge.
05:33.233 --> 05:35.733 align:left position:17.5% line:89% size:72.5%
Gosh, there's lots to see.
05:35.733 --> 05:36.166 align:left position:27.5% line:89% size:62.5%
Let's get started.
05:52.633 --> 05:55.633 align:left position:25% line:83% size:65%
Jim: 35,800 acres in
the park this
05:55.633 --> 05:58.333 align:left position:32.5% line:83% size:57.5%
Ponderosa Pine
Habitat is one of
05:58.333 --> 05:59.933 align:left position:30% line:83% size:60%
the zones that we
might visit but this
05:59.933 --> 06:03.800 align:left position:22.5% line:83% size:67.5%
tree Rudy has really...
Rudy: Seen better days.
06:03.800 --> 06:04.733 align:left position:22.5% line:89% size:67.5%
Jim: Much better days.
06:04.733 --> 06:06.200 align:left position:32.5% line:83% size:57.5%
Rudy: That is a
big old tree and you
06:06.200 --> 06:07.800 align:left position:30% line:83% size:60%
see that kind of
yellowish look
06:07.800 --> 06:10.033 align:left position:27.5% line:83% size:62.5%
that's left you see
of course the damage
06:10.033 --> 06:12.400 align:left position:15% line:89% size:75%
that fire has done here too.
06:12.400 --> 06:14.166 align:left position:22.5% line:83% size:67.5%
They get to be monster
trees here and I think
06:14.166 --> 06:17.266 align:left position:27.5% line:83% size:62.5%
Ponderosa Pine is a
pretty good name for
06:17.266 --> 06:18.433 align:left position:30% line:83% size:60%
those things. Of
course they start
06:18.433 --> 06:20.700 align:left position:27.5% line:83% size:62.5%
off kind of small.
Here's a little one
06:20.700 --> 06:22.566 align:left position:15% line:83% size:75%
right in front of us needles,
usually in bundles
06:22.566 --> 06:25.166 align:left position:22.5% line:89% size:67.5%
of three sometimes two,
06:25.166 --> 06:26.533 align:left position:30% line:83% size:60%
but usually three
and rather long.
06:26.533 --> 06:29.366 align:left position:17.5% line:89% size:72.5%
Jim: But 100 to 130 feet is
06:29.366 --> 06:31.033 align:left position:17.5% line:89% size:72.5%
nothing for Ponderosa Pine.
06:31.033 --> 06:32.100 align:left position:15% line:83% size:75%
Rudy: Absolutely right. Well,
you can see some big
06:32.100 --> 06:33.466 align:left position:27.5% line:83% size:62.5%
ones all around us
here and they
06:33.466 --> 06:35.433 align:left position:30% line:83% size:60%
dominate on this
ground that's a
06:35.433 --> 06:38.800 align:left position:30% line:83% size:60%
little bit higher
and then sort of
06:38.800 --> 06:40.200 align:left position:25% line:83% size:65%
peter out as you get
down a little lower
06:40.200 --> 06:42.933 align:left position:27.5% line:83% size:62.5%
with with a little
extra moisture.
06:42.933 --> 06:44.733 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
One little shrubby plant
that comes in here
06:44.733 --> 06:46.866 align:left position:27.5% line:83% size:62.5%
now pretty, pretty
heavily Bitterbrush
06:46.866 --> 06:48.333 align:left position:25% line:83% size:65%
is one of the common
names for that thing.
06:48.333 --> 06:50.366 align:left position:20% line:89% size:70%
Antelope Brush is another
06:50.366 --> 06:54.000 align:left position:35% line:83% size:55%
name for it.
Both of both Pronghorn
06:54.000 --> 06:55.733 align:left position:27.5% line:83% size:62.5%
antelopes and Mule
deer browse on it
06:55.733 --> 06:57.033 align:left position:27.5% line:83% size:62.5%
and see the little
leaves and there's
06:57.033 --> 06:59.100 align:left position:25% line:83% size:65%
the fruit on it kind
of an odd fruit and
06:59.100 --> 07:00.766 align:left position:25% line:83% size:65%
it is very bitter to
the taste but
07:00.766 --> 07:04.566 align:left position:30% line:83% size:60%
rodents love it.
And usually strip most
07:04.566 --> 07:06.633 align:left position:27.5% line:83% size:62.5%
of the fruit away I
don't see much fruit on it
07:06.633 --> 07:08.266 align:left position:27.5% line:83% size:62.5%
Jim: right in there
Rudy, also Indian
07:08.266 --> 07:09.733 align:left position:15% line:89% size:75%
Paintbrush and see beautiful
07:09.733 --> 07:11.033 align:left position:12.5% line:89% size:77.5%
Rudy: Yeah, with flowers on and
07:11.033 --> 07:12.700 align:left position:32.5% line:83% size:57.5%
really the most
colorful parts of
07:12.700 --> 07:16.566 align:left position:27.5% line:83% size:62.5%
that are not flower
parts, per se.
07:16.566 --> 07:18.700 align:left position:30% line:83% size:60%
They're a little
Brax that surround
07:18.700 --> 07:21.933 align:left position:17.5% line:89% size:72.5%
the flowers. That is neat.
07:21.933 --> 07:23.100 align:left position:17.5% line:89% size:72.5%
Right there in front of us.
07:23.100 --> 07:24.900 align:left position:27.5% line:83% size:62.5%
Jim: The deer over
here and you will
07:24.900 --> 07:25.866 align:left position:32.5% line:89% size:57.5%
deer Mule Deer
07:25.866 --> 07:27.366 align:left position:30% line:83% size:60%
Rudy: right there
female Look at the
07:27.366 --> 07:29.800 align:left position:30% line:83% size:60%
size of the ears
and again browsing,
07:29.800 --> 07:32.533 align:left position:27.5% line:83% size:62.5%
doing what we said
they do going to the
07:32.533 --> 07:34.300 align:left position:27.5% line:83% size:62.5%
to the Bitterbrush
to recycle those leaves.
07:34.300 --> 07:36.233 align:left position:20% line:89% size:70%
That's a beautiful animal
07:36.233 --> 07:38.433 align:left position:30% line:83% size:60%
nice and healthy.
And again, the size
07:38.433 --> 07:41.533 align:left position:27.5% line:83% size:62.5%
of those ears give
it the name. Mule Deer.
07:41.533 --> 07:43.233 align:left position:30% line:83% size:60%
Jim: over here on
the edge is a young one.
07:43.233 --> 07:45.900 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
A fawn, this years fawn.
Yeah.
07:45.900 --> 07:47.433 align:left position:27.5% line:83% size:62.5%
Rudy: Black on the
tip of the tail
07:47.433 --> 07:49.866 align:left position:32.5% line:83% size:57.5%
there is pretty
typical of those
07:49.866 --> 07:51.266 align:left position:32.5% line:83% size:57.5%
deer sometimes
called Black Tailed Deer
07:51.266 --> 07:53.966 align:left position:30% line:83% size:60%
for that reason,
because the
07:53.966 --> 07:56.033 align:left position:27.5% line:83% size:62.5%
little black on the
tip somebody spots.
07:56.033 --> 07:58.066 align:left position:25% line:83% size:65%
Yeah, just foraging.
You see a little bit
07:58.066 --> 08:00.233 align:left position:27.5% line:83% size:62.5%
of the spots left.
There's another
08:00.233 --> 08:01.866 align:left position:27.5% line:83% size:62.5%
little wind down on
the ground right there.
08:01.866 --> 08:03.066 align:left position:25% line:89% size:65%
Look at that feeding
08:03.066 --> 08:05.200 align:left position:27.5% line:83% size:62.5%
Jim: right in front
and that will be a twin.
08:05.200 --> 08:06.200 align:left position:22.5% line:83% size:67.5%
Rudy: Yeah, I guess so.
Yeah, usually
08:06.200 --> 08:09.966 align:left position:15% line:89% size:75%
they're two after the first.
08:09.966 --> 08:12.033 align:left position:17.5% line:83% size:72.5%
First time they give birth
to young or two
08:12.033 --> 08:13.900 align:left position:27.5% line:83% size:62.5%
every time look at
get up and bouncing
08:13.900 --> 08:16.133 align:left position:32.5% line:83% size:57.5%
away just boing
boing boing between...
08:16.133 --> 08:17.833 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
Just like a spring buck.
Oh, there are a
08:17.833 --> 08:19.200 align:left position:12.5% line:89% size:77.5%
lot of interesting things here.
08:19.200 --> 08:20.300 align:left position:32.5% line:83% size:57.5%
I noticed some
movement right over here.
08:20.300 --> 08:22.333 align:left position:37.5% line:83% size:52.5%
Look at the
female Western
08:22.333 --> 08:25.433 align:left position:27.5% line:83% size:62.5%
Bluebird perched up
there and dropping
08:25.433 --> 08:27.100 align:left position:27.5% line:83% size:62.5%
What is that on the
ground? She's got
08:27.100 --> 08:28.866 align:left position:30% line:83% size:60%
something in her
beak. Earthworm
08:28.866 --> 08:30.633 align:left position:27.5% line:83% size:62.5%
pulled up an Earth
Oh yeah. Working
08:30.633 --> 08:32.366 align:left position:30% line:83% size:60%
with a slowly but
surely tried to get
08:32.366 --> 08:38.500 align:left position:30% line:89% size:60%
it in her mouth.
08:38.500 --> 08:39.666 align:left position:30% line:83% size:60%
You can see she's
kind of having a
08:39.666 --> 08:41.266 align:left position:25% line:83% size:65%
hard time doing that
but eventually
08:41.266 --> 08:44.633 align:left position:30% line:83% size:60%
getting it all in
and changing it into
08:44.633 --> 08:47.033 align:left position:30% line:83% size:60%
Western Bluebird.
I see a Dark Eyed
08:47.033 --> 08:49.600 align:left position:25% line:83% size:65%
Junco to down in the
grass is there it
08:49.600 --> 08:51.833 align:left position:32.5% line:83% size:57.5%
looks like just
fluffing up, preening
08:51.833 --> 08:53.766 align:left position:27.5% line:83% size:62.5%
a little bit maybe.
Jim: Used to be called
08:53.766 --> 08:55.633 align:left position:27.5% line:83% size:62.5%
the Oregon race of
the Junko.
08:55.633 --> 08:56.766 align:left position:25% line:83% size:65%
Rudy: Yeah, that's an
interesting one there.
08:56.766 --> 08:59.200 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
There you see it rubbing
around a little bit there.
08:59.200 --> 09:00.133 align:left position:32.5% line:83% size:57.5%
Jim: Rudy look
over here on the ground.
09:00.133 --> 09:02.200 align:left position:20% line:89% size:70%
White breasted Nut Hatch.
09:02.200 --> 09:04.000 align:left position:25% line:83% size:65%
Usually you see them
coming down the tree
09:04.000 --> 09:06.500 align:left position:32.5% line:83% size:57.5%
but this one is
foraging on the ground.
09:06.500 --> 09:07.866 align:left position:27.5% line:83% size:62.5%
Rudy: That's a neat
animal a lot of bird
09:07.866 --> 09:09.366 align:left position:32.5% line:83% size:57.5%
activity in the
forest here.
09:09.366 --> 09:10.566 align:left position:32.5% line:83% size:57.5%
Jim: Well, it's
harsh habitat but
09:10.566 --> 09:13.200 align:left position:32.5% line:83% size:57.5%
164 species are
listed here in the park.
09:13.200 --> 09:14.866 align:left position:27.5% line:83% size:62.5%
Rudy: Oh yeah. Good
variety of habitats
09:14.866 --> 09:16.766 align:left position:32.5% line:83% size:57.5%
to little lower
area next to us.
09:16.766 --> 09:18.300 align:left position:22.5% line:89% size:67.5%
Let's look at it next.
09:18.300 --> 09:24.466 align:left position:35% line:89% size:55%
(Relocating)
09:24.466 --> 09:26.033 align:left position:30% line:83% size:60%
Jim: This time of
year cools off very
09:26.033 --> 09:27.800 align:left position:27.5% line:83% size:62.5%
quickly with these
breezes, especially
09:27.800 --> 09:29.566 align:left position:27.5% line:83% size:62.5%
at this elevation.
We're between 8
09:29.566 --> 09:31.233 align:left position:30% line:89% size:60%
and 9000 feet up.
09:31.233 --> 09:32.300 align:left position:27.5% line:83% size:62.5%
Rudy: You know it's
interesting to the
09:32.300 --> 09:34.266 align:left position:27.5% line:83% size:62.5%
way habitats change
so quickly. You know,
09:34.266 --> 09:35.600 align:left position:15% line:89% size:75%
we talked about that a moment
09:35.600 --> 09:38.500 align:left position:25% line:83% size:65%
ago into a sagebrush
area here from
09:38.500 --> 09:40.833 align:left position:32.5% line:83% size:57.5%
Ponderosa Pine
Forest and really
09:40.833 --> 09:42.333 align:left position:25% line:83% size:65%
the world does change
in a place like this.
09:42.333 --> 09:43.733 align:left position:25% line:89% size:65%
The plants obviously
09:43.733 --> 09:46.900 align:left position:27.5% line:83% size:62.5%
change but look at
the little Prairie
09:46.900 --> 09:48.866 align:left position:25% line:83% size:65%
Dog mounds out there
and the Prairie Dogs
09:48.866 --> 09:50.900 align:left position:25% line:83% size:65%
themselves active in
a little bit of
09:50.900 --> 09:53.666 align:left position:27.5% line:83% size:62.5%
sunlight coming out
to get a meal.
09:53.666 --> 09:54.800 align:left position:40% line:83% size:50%
Jim: They
disappeared in the
09:54.800 --> 09:57.433 align:left position:17.5% line:83% size:72.5%
1950s due to the ranching,
but they brought them
09:57.433 --> 09:59.133 align:left position:15% line:89% size:75%
back in the mid 70s And they
09:59.133 --> 10:00.200 align:left position:22.5% line:89% size:67.5%
were established again.
10:00.200 --> 10:02.533 align:left position:27.5% line:83% size:62.5%
Rudy: Utah Prairie
Dog, one of the
10:02.533 --> 10:04.166 align:left position:25% line:83% size:65%
white tailed Prairie
Dogs will probably
10:04.166 --> 10:05.466 align:left position:30% line:83% size:60%
be able to see a
white tail as they
10:05.466 --> 10:07.433 align:left position:12.5% line:89% size:77.5%
move around foraging for food.
10:07.433 --> 10:09.766 align:left position:25% line:83% size:65%
You see the way they
snip off all the plants
10:09.766 --> 10:11.866 align:left position:32.5% line:83% size:57.5%
out in front of
their burrows.
10:11.866 --> 10:13.433 align:left position:25% line:83% size:65%
A couple more of them
over here, very,
10:13.433 --> 10:15.566 align:left position:15% line:83% size:75%
very alert, looking at those
things and looking around.
10:15.566 --> 10:17.766 align:left position:25% line:89% size:65%
Jim: That body short,
10:17.766 --> 10:18.866 align:left position:17.5% line:89% size:72.5%
short legs and short tail,
10:18.866 --> 10:20.533 align:left position:32.5% line:83% size:57.5%
Rudy: Red Tail
Hawks, Golden
10:20.533 --> 10:22.433 align:left position:25% line:83% size:65%
Eagles, coyotes would
probably prey on them.
10:22.433 --> 10:24.766 align:left position:17.5% line:89% size:72.5%
But they do very nicely in
10:24.766 --> 10:26.333 align:left position:25% line:83% size:65%
situations like this,
a threatened species
10:26.333 --> 10:28.400 align:left position:42.5% line:83% size:47.5%
is now
making a bit of a
10:28.400 --> 10:29.900 align:left position:27.5% line:83% size:62.5%
comeback, we gotta
go in the hole real quickly.
10:29.900 --> 10:32.533 align:left position:37.5% line:83% size:52.5%
That's how
alert they are.
10:32.533 --> 10:35.000 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
That is a neat animal and
forming little colonies,
10:35.000 --> 10:36.966 align:left position:15% line:89% size:75%
little towns they're called.
10:36.966 --> 10:39.733 align:left position:12.5% line:89% size:77.5%
So typical of this part of the
10:39.733 --> 10:42.766 align:left position:32.5% line:83% size:57.5%
United States.
And right in front of us,
10:42.766 --> 10:44.266 align:left position:37.5% line:83% size:52.5%
you see the
plant that's so
10:44.266 --> 10:45.766 align:left position:25% line:83% size:65%
typical of this area,
the Black Sagebrush
10:45.766 --> 10:47.700 align:left position:30% line:83% size:60%
you see scattered
all over the place.
10:47.700 --> 10:50.333 align:left position:22.5% line:89% size:67.5%
not growing very tall,
10:50.333 --> 10:52.433 align:left position:30% line:83% size:60%
you can see some
leftover flower
10:52.433 --> 10:54.666 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
stalks sticking up there.
One of the composites
10:54.666 --> 10:57.000 align:left position:20% line:89% size:70%
pretty widespread quite a
10:57.000 --> 11:00.200 align:left position:30% line:83% size:60%
few varieties of
sagebrush here.
11:00.200 --> 11:02.133 align:left position:27.5% line:83% size:62.5%
Also see one of the
Gentians look at the
11:02.133 --> 11:03.733 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
purple flowers in there.
Can you see that?
11:03.733 --> 11:05.466 align:left position:22.5% line:83% size:67.5%
Jim: Oh, it's so tiny.
Rudy: It just pops
11:05.466 --> 11:07.066 align:left position:15% line:89% size:75%
right out really with all of
11:07.066 --> 11:09.166 align:left position:22.5% line:83% size:67.5%
the grasses around it.
That is a neat plant.
11:09.166 --> 11:13.433 align:left position:17.5% line:83% size:72.5%
Again, a number of species,
you would find here,
11:13.433 --> 11:15.966 align:left position:25% line:83% size:65%
Jim: indicator plant
for this transition.
11:15.966 --> 11:17.166 align:left position:27.5% line:83% size:62.5%
Rudy: See something
else is kind of crazy.
11:17.166 --> 11:19.300 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
Look at the look at this,
these rounded,
11:19.300 --> 11:21.833 align:left position:12.5% line:89% size:77.5%
looks almost like tubes of mud.
11:21.833 --> 11:24.800 align:left position:32.5% line:83% size:57.5%
So you stick it
out there or soil.
11:24.800 --> 11:26.833 align:left position:22.5% line:83% size:67.5%
Jim: What causes that?
Rudy: There is a
11:26.833 --> 11:28.966 align:left position:27.5% line:83% size:62.5%
Pocket Gopher that
lives here that's
11:28.966 --> 11:30.733 align:left position:12.5% line:89% size:77.5%
normally digging in the ground.
11:30.733 --> 11:32.166 align:left position:17.5% line:83% size:72.5%
But when there's snow here,
they actually dig
11:32.166 --> 11:34.766 align:left position:25% line:83% size:65%
burrows in the snow,
and fill those snow
11:34.766 --> 11:37.366 align:left position:25% line:83% size:65%
burrows with dirt as
they dig burrows into
11:37.366 --> 11:40.266 align:left position:25% line:83% size:65%
the soil beneath the
snow melts.
11:40.266 --> 11:42.200 align:left position:17.5% line:83% size:72.5%
They're called gopher cores
in that neat the way they look,
11:42.200 --> 11:44.533 align:left position:17.5% line:89% size:72.5%
sticking above the ground.
11:44.533 --> 11:46.200 align:left position:10% line:89% size:80%
Jim: One of the 50 or so mammals
11:46.200 --> 11:47.133 align:left position:17.5% line:89% size:72.5%
that live here in the park.
11:47.133 --> 11:48.233 align:left position:32.5% line:83% size:57.5%
Rudy: Yeah, see
something else right
11:48.233 --> 11:50.000 align:left position:27.5% line:83% size:62.5%
down here. That's a
very clear sign.
11:50.000 --> 11:52.100 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
Mammal now. Pick that up.
Let's take a look at it.
11:52.100 --> 11:53.566 align:left position:17.5% line:89% size:72.5%
Jim: One of the 50 species
11:53.566 --> 11:55.800 align:left position:15% line:89% size:75%
dropped this that's for sure.
11:55.800 --> 11:56.900 align:left position:32.5% line:83% size:57.5%
Rudy: That's a
shed deer antler.
11:56.900 --> 11:58.800 align:left position:30% line:83% size:60%
No question mule
deer young one now
11:58.800 --> 12:01.100 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
with just one fork there.
But look at the
12:01.100 --> 12:03.500 align:left position:30% line:83% size:60%
base as it comes
around in that neat,
12:03.500 --> 12:05.300 align:left position:25% line:83% size:65%
with that projection
at the base or that
12:05.300 --> 12:07.500 align:left position:25% line:83% size:65%
little rim that cuts
off the blood supply
12:07.500 --> 12:09.500 align:left position:25% line:83% size:65%
causes the antler to
die and then
12:09.500 --> 12:11.766 align:left position:32.5% line:83% size:57.5%
eventually shed
and every male two a
12:11.766 --> 12:14.066 align:left position:15% line:83% size:75%
year right and drops them and
often much much bigger.
12:14.066 --> 12:16.333 align:left position:20% line:89% size:70%
Yeah, and usually not on
12:16.333 --> 12:17.633 align:left position:22.5% line:83% size:67.5%
by some of the rodents.
I guess the
12:17.633 --> 12:20.433 align:left position:22.5% line:83% size:67.5%
rodents haven't really
gotten to that one yet.
12:20.433 --> 12:22.366 align:left position:22.5% line:83% size:67.5%
Jim: Mule Deer is very
common here. But one
12:22.366 --> 12:25.033 align:left position:25% line:83% size:65%
mammal that isn't is
the Pronghorn
12:25.033 --> 12:26.200 align:left position:35% line:83% size:55%
because they
disappeared late
12:26.200 --> 12:28.633 align:left position:25% line:83% size:65%
1800s due to hunting
and disease.
12:28.633 --> 12:29.666 align:left position:20% line:89% size:70%
They're coming back now.
12:29.666 --> 12:30.866 align:left position:32.5% line:83% size:57.5%
Rudy: Yeah and
habitats like this.
12:30.866 --> 12:32.366 align:left position:25% line:83% size:65%
Now you would expect
that and when you
12:32.366 --> 12:34.566 align:left position:30% line:83% size:60%
remember earlier,
outside of the park,
12:34.566 --> 12:36.600 align:left position:30% line:83% size:60%
we saw a group of
them just grazing
12:36.600 --> 12:38.900 align:left position:32.5% line:83% size:57.5%
nice and easy.
One male with those
12:38.900 --> 12:41.866 align:left position:37.5% line:83% size:52.5%
large horns
prong sticking forward
12:41.866 --> 12:44.066 align:left position:15% line:89% size:75%
giving it the name Pronghorn.
12:44.066 --> 12:46.900 align:left position:32.5% line:83% size:57.5%
The outer horn
covering the shed,
12:46.900 --> 12:49.500 align:left position:15% line:89% size:75%
the bony part stays on yeah,
12:49.500 --> 12:51.333 align:left position:27.5% line:83% size:62.5%
and both sexes grow
those things usually,
12:51.333 --> 12:52.866 align:left position:35% line:83% size:55%
but they were
just filling up
12:52.866 --> 12:54.933 align:left position:30% line:83% size:60%
with food there.
And again, the male has
12:54.933 --> 12:57.233 align:left position:27.5% line:83% size:62.5%
his little harem of
females with him.
12:57.233 --> 12:59.233 align:left position:27.5% line:83% size:62.5%
This time of year,
that animal is exclusively
12:59.233 --> 13:23.066 align:left position:32.5% line:89% size:57.5%
North American.
13:23.066 --> 13:24.700 align:left position:35% line:83% size:55%
Jim: almost 2
million people a
13:24.700 --> 13:26.700 align:left position:25% line:83% size:65%
year come here to see
Bryce Canyon National Park.
13:26.700 --> 13:29.500 align:left position:20% line:89% size:70%
And this rim trail gives
13:29.500 --> 13:31.766 align:left position:25% line:83% size:65%
them a chance to get
close to some of
13:31.766 --> 13:34.033 align:left position:32.5% line:83% size:57.5%
those beautiful
works of erosional art.
13:34.033 --> 13:37.566 align:left position:32.5% line:83% size:57.5%
This is Sunset
Point about 8000 feet.
13:37.566 --> 13:39.933 align:left position:27.5% line:83% size:62.5%
Rudy: It is amazing
when you see the the
13:39.933 --> 13:42.633 align:left position:25% line:83% size:65%
work of water really,
as Lauren Isley
13:42.633 --> 13:44.533 align:left position:35% line:83% size:55%
said there's
power in raindrops
13:44.533 --> 13:46.600 align:left position:30% line:83% size:60%
there's no doubt
about that.
13:46.600 --> 13:48.466 align:left position:22.5% line:83% size:67.5%
And when you think back
in time of sediments
13:48.466 --> 13:50.433 align:left position:27.5% line:83% size:62.5%
that were deposited
in a lake way back
13:50.433 --> 13:52.733 align:left position:35% line:83% size:55%
in the past,
and then the uplift of
13:52.733 --> 13:54.766 align:left position:25% line:83% size:65%
the Colorado Plateau
and you can see the tilt
13:54.766 --> 13:57.633 align:left position:27.5% line:83% size:62.5%
that happened when
the rock was uplifted.
13:57.633 --> 13:59.466 align:left position:30% line:83% size:60%
Basically they're
still relatively
13:59.466 --> 14:01.800 align:left position:37.5% line:83% size:52.5%
flat beds,
and then along
14:01.800 --> 14:03.466 align:left position:32.5% line:83% size:57.5%
the edge of the
plateau erosion began,
14:03.466 --> 14:05.600 align:left position:37.5% line:83% size:52.5%
water began
to do its work.
14:05.600 --> 14:06.966 align:left position:27.5% line:83% size:62.5%
There were already
streams here that
14:06.966 --> 14:09.633 align:left position:27.5% line:83% size:62.5%
were tilted as the
rock moved up
14:09.633 --> 14:11.733 align:left position:32.5% line:83% size:57.5%
whittling away
slowly but surely.
14:11.733 --> 14:13.366 align:left position:27.5% line:83% size:62.5%
And then the falls
that little valley
14:13.366 --> 14:15.100 align:left position:32.5% line:83% size:57.5%
area down there
between this plateau
14:15.100 --> 14:16.866 align:left position:15% line:89% size:75%
and the one in the distance.
14:16.866 --> 14:19.433 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
Jim: This is Bryce Canyon
National Park
14:19.433 --> 14:22.100 align:left position:17.5% line:83% size:72.5%
named after Ebenezer Bryce
who settled in
14:22.100 --> 14:25.466 align:left position:15% line:83% size:75%
1875 down there at the base.
Way off in the
14:25.466 --> 14:27.333 align:left position:35% line:83% size:55%
distance Rudy
with a visibility
14:27.333 --> 14:29.933 align:left position:30% line:83% size:60%
like this you can
see Navajo Mountain
14:29.933 --> 14:31.566 align:left position:25% line:89% size:65%
almost 100 miles away
14:31.566 --> 14:32.900 align:left position:25% line:83% size:65%
Rudy: Isn't that neat
two right there the
14:32.900 --> 14:35.166 align:left position:27.5% line:83% size:62.5%
way water a pretty
substantial stream
14:35.166 --> 14:37.033 align:left position:30% line:83% size:60%
of water it looks
like actually carved
14:37.033 --> 14:39.933 align:left position:32.5% line:83% size:57.5%
a pretty nice v
shaped valley in the
14:39.933 --> 14:41.833 align:left position:30% line:83% size:60%
in the rock there
and all the green
14:41.833 --> 14:43.766 align:left position:25% line:83% size:65%
trees down below you
can see the cap rock
14:43.766 --> 14:45.866 align:left position:32.5% line:83% size:57.5%
below us to the
harder stuff see up
14:45.866 --> 14:47.966 align:left position:30% line:83% size:60%
above the reddish
material that allows
14:47.966 --> 14:49.833 align:left position:30% line:83% size:60%
those hoodoos to
form and then on the
14:49.833 --> 14:52.266 align:left position:32.5% line:83% size:57.5%
side over here,
some recent erosion you
14:52.266 --> 14:53.666 align:left position:32.5% line:83% size:57.5%
see the little
gullies and look at
14:53.666 --> 14:56.133 align:left position:30% line:83% size:60%
all the colorful
Quaking Aspen young
14:56.133 --> 14:58.200 align:left position:25% line:83% size:65%
trees that have come
in here and and set
14:58.200 --> 14:59.866 align:left position:32.5% line:83% size:57.5%
up house there
pioneer species that
14:59.866 --> 15:02.266 align:left position:27.5% line:83% size:62.5%
can out in the open
spaces like this,
15:02.266 --> 15:03.800 align:left position:25% line:83% size:65%
I imagine they won't
do terribly well
15:03.800 --> 15:07.566 align:left position:30% line:83% size:60%
there even a few
Ponderosa Pines
15:07.566 --> 15:09.733 align:left position:30% line:83% size:60%
slipping out in.
Common Raven over
15:09.733 --> 15:11.166 align:left position:27.5% line:83% size:62.5%
here Jim just flew
up and landed on the
15:11.166 --> 15:12.566 align:left position:27.5% line:83% size:62.5%
side looks like it
may have something
15:12.566 --> 15:15.300 align:left position:37.5% line:83% size:52.5%
in its beak
scavenging ravens
15:15.300 --> 15:16.933 align:left position:25% line:83% size:65%
that's what they are
finding food that
15:16.933 --> 15:19.200 align:left position:27.5% line:83% size:62.5%
people leave behind
and animals that are
15:19.200 --> 15:20.866 align:left position:27.5% line:83% size:62.5%
killed on the road
that's a neat bird
15:20.866 --> 15:22.833 align:left position:32.5% line:83% size:57.5%
good sized and
really plays with
15:22.833 --> 15:25.066 align:left position:32.5% line:83% size:57.5%
the wind here.
And then you can see the
15:25.066 --> 15:26.300 align:left position:12.5% line:89% size:77.5%
fins that we were talking about
15:26.300 --> 15:28.300 align:left position:30% line:83% size:60%
earlier forming.
Differential
15:28.300 --> 15:30.066 align:left position:27.5% line:83% size:62.5%
weathering you know
rock harder than
15:30.066 --> 15:32.233 align:left position:27.5% line:83% size:62.5%
material around it
and some of them
15:32.233 --> 15:36.133 align:left position:25% line:83% size:65%
pretty large and one
with a window in it
15:36.133 --> 15:37.100 align:left position:27.5% line:89% size:62.5%
isn't that amazing?
15:37.100 --> 15:38.200 align:left position:27.5% line:83% size:62.5%
Jim: So that's one
of the window rocks
15:38.200 --> 15:40.500 align:left position:25% line:83% size:65%
I guess caused again
by the action of water.
15:40.500 --> 15:42.300 align:left position:25% line:83% size:65%
Rudy: Water and wind
probably had an
15:42.300 --> 15:44.233 align:left position:30% line:83% size:60%
effect that with
that too,
15:44.233 --> 15:45.600 align:left position:27.5% line:83% size:62.5%
and sometimes these
little openings
15:45.600 --> 15:47.900 align:left position:27.5% line:83% size:62.5%
become big ones you
know the natural
15:47.900 --> 15:49.800 align:left position:27.5% line:83% size:62.5%
bridge not too far
from here really one
15:49.800 --> 15:53.200 align:left position:25% line:83% size:65%
of the arches formed
that way spectacular
15:53.200 --> 15:57.333 align:left position:30% line:83% size:60%
views mainly it's
water and wind
15:57.333 --> 16:00.466 align:left position:35% line:83% size:55%
working with
sedimentary rock.
16:00.466 --> 16:39.533 align:left position:12.5% line:89% size:77.5%
♪ Relocating and Soft music. ♪
16:39.533 --> 16:42.366 align:left position:30% line:83% size:60%
Jim: Moving down
into the 6000 or
16:42.366 --> 16:45.233 align:left position:32.5% line:83% size:57.5%
6000 plus level
gives an entirely
16:45.233 --> 16:47.100 align:left position:30% line:83% size:60%
different habitat
community of living
16:47.100 --> 16:49.700 align:left position:30% line:83% size:60%
things as well as
great looks around us.
16:49.700 --> 16:50.966 align:left position:32.5% line:83% size:57.5%
Rudy: Yeah, and
access to a little
16:50.966 --> 16:52.833 align:left position:27.5% line:83% size:62.5%
bit more water and
this is one of those
16:52.833 --> 16:54.700 align:left position:27.5% line:83% size:62.5%
canyons that we've
been looking down on
16:54.700 --> 16:56.833 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
it is kind of nice to get
down in the canyon itself.
16:56.833 --> 16:59.533 align:left position:20% line:89% size:70%
And really it gives us a
16:59.533 --> 17:02.500 align:left position:27.5% line:83% size:62.5%
chance to look back
up at some of those
17:02.500 --> 17:04.833 align:left position:22.5% line:83% size:67.5%
spires that we've been
talking about.
17:04.833 --> 17:08.433 align:left position:25% line:83% size:65%
Layering so clear in
there limestones
17:08.433 --> 17:10.600 align:left position:25% line:83% size:65%
and siltstones again
and you can see the
17:10.600 --> 17:12.233 align:left position:35% line:83% size:55%
hard cap rock
holding it in as
17:12.233 --> 17:14.266 align:left position:27.5% line:83% size:62.5%
we've been talking
about colored by the
17:14.266 --> 17:17.400 align:left position:25% line:83% size:65%
iron oxides yeah and
and other minerals in it.
17:17.400 --> 17:19.300 align:left position:37.5% line:83% size:52.5%
And you can
see the way water
17:19.300 --> 17:21.000 align:left position:32.5% line:83% size:57.5%
now has cut in
those little gullies
17:21.000 --> 17:23.500 align:left position:27.5% line:83% size:62.5%
you can see streams
up there little bits
17:23.500 --> 17:25.866 align:left position:27.5% line:83% size:62.5%
of water flow. It's
working slowly but
17:25.866 --> 17:27.033 align:left position:25% line:89% size:65%
surely to change it.
17:27.033 --> 17:29.000 align:left position:25% line:83% size:65%
Jim: Well the creek,
creek below us is Rudy
17:29.000 --> 17:31.900 align:left position:25% line:83% size:65%
too has such a silty
muddy look runs on
17:31.900 --> 17:33.366 align:left position:25% line:83% size:65%
down through you can
see it carrying the
17:33.366 --> 17:34.900 align:left position:20% line:89% size:70%
canyon away as we speak.
17:34.900 --> 17:36.366 align:left position:25% line:83% size:65%
Rudy: Yeah, water see
is collected in the
17:36.366 --> 17:38.266 align:left position:22.5% line:83% size:67.5%
streams of course as it
runs off the side.
17:38.266 --> 17:40.533 align:left position:37.5% line:83% size:52.5%
Few plants
coming in there.
17:40.533 --> 17:42.166 align:left position:25% line:83% size:65%
There's some more of
those Ponderosa Pines
17:42.166 --> 17:43.666 align:left position:32.5% line:83% size:57.5%
that we've been
looking at over there.
17:43.666 --> 17:45.966 align:left position:35% line:83% size:55%
But frankly,
when you get down at
17:45.966 --> 17:47.666 align:left position:32.5% line:83% size:57.5%
this level, you
start thinking about
17:47.666 --> 17:51.666 align:left position:30% line:83% size:60%
another pine and
it's Pinyon Pine.
17:51.666 --> 17:53.433 align:left position:22.5% line:83% size:67.5%
Two needle or two leaf
Pinyon Pine is the
17:53.433 --> 17:55.700 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
common name for that one.
And needles in
17:55.700 --> 17:57.633 align:left position:27.5% line:83% size:62.5%
bundles of two you
can see that fairly
17:57.633 --> 18:00.633 align:left position:30% line:83% size:60%
clearly sort of a
dark green color and
18:00.633 --> 18:03.966 align:left position:27.5% line:83% size:62.5%
a few Cones On, one
of the conifers that
18:03.966 --> 18:05.133 align:left position:25% line:89% size:65%
that dominates here.
18:05.133 --> 18:07.166 align:left position:27.5% line:83% size:62.5%
Jim: Now the other
would be the Utah Juniper
18:07.166 --> 18:09.300 align:left position:27.5% line:83% size:62.5%
which gives us the
habitat its name.
18:09.300 --> 18:10.433 align:left position:30% line:83% size:60%
Rudy: Absolutely
right. And there's
18:10.433 --> 18:13.100 align:left position:27.5% line:83% size:62.5%
Utah Juniper No, no
question about that.
18:13.100 --> 18:15.733 align:left position:32.5% line:83% size:57.5%
With berry like
cones on it, those
18:15.733 --> 18:17.233 align:left position:30% line:83% size:60%
things look more
like berries than
18:17.233 --> 18:21.000 align:left position:30% line:83% size:60%
cones but in fact
they are true cones,
18:21.000 --> 18:24.100 align:left position:30% line:83% size:60%
and Utah Juniper
Pinyon Pine,
18:24.100 --> 18:25.500 align:left position:32.5% line:83% size:57.5%
as you've said,
are the dominant woody
18:25.500 --> 18:27.033 align:left position:27.5% line:83% size:62.5%
plants but now look
at all the shrubby
18:27.033 --> 18:28.066 align:left position:32.5% line:83% size:57.5%
things that are
here.
18:28.066 --> 18:29.633 align:left position:27.5% line:83% size:62.5%
Jim: What's the one
that has very sharp
18:29.633 --> 18:31.633 align:left position:32.5% line:83% size:57.5%
points almost a
holly like leaf to
18:31.633 --> 18:32.866 align:left position:25% line:83% size:65%
Rudy: it. One of the
common names for
18:32.866 --> 18:35.900 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
that is Fremont Barberry,
you can see compound
18:35.900 --> 18:37.800 align:left position:22.5% line:83% size:67.5%
leaf with sharp edges.
I mean,
18:37.800 --> 18:39.733 align:left position:30% line:83% size:60%
if you bump into
that it's gonna
18:39.733 --> 18:41.200 align:left position:25% line:83% size:65%
stick a hole in you.
There's no question
18:41.200 --> 18:43.300 align:left position:25% line:83% size:65%
about that. And that
protects that plant
18:43.300 --> 18:45.533 align:left position:27.5% line:83% size:62.5%
as far as the food
and in water that
18:45.533 --> 18:47.533 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
it's got in those leaves.
Most animals don't
18:47.533 --> 18:49.733 align:left position:30% line:83% size:60%
tamper with that.
I see a little
18:49.733 --> 18:52.266 align:left position:27.5% line:83% size:62.5%
sign of fall there,
reddish color coming
18:52.266 --> 18:56.266 align:left position:27.5% line:83% size:62.5%
in on what's called
Skunk Bush sometimes.
18:56.266 --> 18:58.400 align:left position:27.5% line:83% size:62.5%
Scientific name is
Rhus Trilobata.
18:58.400 --> 19:02.366 align:left position:27.5% line:83% size:62.5%
So it's one of the
sumac three lobes
19:02.366 --> 19:05.200 align:left position:25% line:83% size:65%
see to the leaf. And
you can see that
19:05.200 --> 19:06.233 align:left position:32.5% line:83% size:57.5%
we've gotten a
little bit of autumn
19:06.233 --> 19:08.700 align:left position:30% line:83% size:60%
color coming in.
And it's kind of nice
19:08.700 --> 19:10.500 align:left position:27.5% line:83% size:62.5%
this time of year.
One of the yuccas
19:10.500 --> 19:12.200 align:left position:32.5% line:83% size:57.5%
two over there.
Look at the Narrowleaf
19:12.200 --> 19:15.000 align:left position:30% line:83% size:60%
Yucca see it very
skinny leaf sharp
19:15.000 --> 19:17.833 align:left position:27.5% line:83% size:62.5%
edge and even some
some fruit on that
19:17.833 --> 19:20.066 align:left position:22.5% line:83% size:67.5%
you see a little bit of
fruit sticking up on that.
19:20.066 --> 19:21.533 align:left position:30% line:83% size:60%
Jim: The yucca of
course a very common
19:21.533 --> 19:23.033 align:left position:35% line:83% size:55%
plant in the
southwest and over
19:23.033 --> 19:26.533 align:left position:15% line:83% size:75%
450 plants here in the park.
That one is one
19:26.533 --> 19:28.266 align:left position:37.5% line:83% size:52.5%
of the Oaks
I'm not sure which one.
19:28.266 --> 19:29.733 align:left position:27.5% line:83% size:62.5%
Rudy: Yeah, that's
Gamble Oak, no doubt about it.
19:29.733 --> 19:31.666 align:left position:30% line:83% size:60%
Look at the deep
lobeing on those
19:31.666 --> 19:33.233 align:left position:25% line:83% size:65%
leaves and there's a
little more fall color.
19:33.233 --> 19:34.733 align:left position:40% line:83% size:50%
You know,
you see a little
19:34.733 --> 19:36.733 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
bit of yellow and brown.
Those pigments were
19:36.733 --> 19:38.266 align:left position:22.5% line:89% size:67.5%
always in the leaf were
19:38.266 --> 19:39.933 align:left position:35% line:83% size:55%
masked by the
chlorophyll and now
19:39.933 --> 19:41.766 align:left position:25% line:83% size:65%
they're beginning to
show up as the
19:41.766 --> 19:43.200 align:left position:30% line:83% size:60%
chlorophyll goes
away. Little bit of
19:43.200 --> 19:46.633 align:left position:27.5% line:83% size:62.5%
fruit on that too.
Acorns in place and
19:46.633 --> 19:48.366 align:left position:27.5% line:83% size:62.5%
then something else
it almost looks like fruit.
19:48.366 --> 19:51.233 align:left position:32.5% line:83% size:57.5%
The red on it.
That is a gall.
19:51.233 --> 19:53.600 align:left position:27.5% line:83% size:62.5%
That's one of those
little insect caused
19:53.600 --> 19:55.833 align:left position:27.5% line:83% size:62.5%
growths is a little
wasp living inside there.
19:55.833 --> 19:57.500 align:left position:37.5% line:83% size:52.5%
I guess it
would be easy
19:57.500 --> 19:59.266 align:left position:25% line:83% size:65%
sometimes to confuse
that with maybe
19:59.266 --> 20:00.733 align:left position:30% line:83% size:60%
fruit on a plant
but that's one of those
20:00.733 --> 20:02.533 align:left position:17.5% line:83% size:72.5%
parasite host relationships
that's interesting.
20:02.533 --> 20:04.466 align:left position:32.5% line:83% size:57.5%
I see one more
parasite
20:04.466 --> 20:06.400 align:left position:30% line:83% size:60%
host relationship
mistletoe up in that
20:06.400 --> 20:08.266 align:left position:27.5% line:83% size:62.5%
Utah Juniper there.
See that cluster of
20:08.266 --> 20:09.733 align:left position:32.5% line:83% size:57.5%
things growing
there? <Oh yes.>
20:09.733 --> 20:11.233 align:left position:22.5% line:83% size:67.5%
that's another parasite
host relationship.
20:11.233 --> 20:13.533 align:left position:20% line:89% size:70%
There are two plants now
20:13.533 --> 20:15.366 align:left position:20% line:89% size:70%
involved isn't that neat
20:15.366 --> 20:16.733 align:left position:27.5% line:83% size:62.5%
Jim: another shrub
over here really the
20:16.733 --> 20:19.266 align:left position:20% line:89% size:70%
hands very small leaves.
20:19.266 --> 20:21.200 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
Rudy: Alder Leaf Mountain
Mahogany, we saw the
20:21.200 --> 20:23.800 align:left position:27.5% line:83% size:62.5%
Curl Leaf Mountain
Mahogany earlier,
20:23.800 --> 20:25.866 align:left position:27.5% line:83% size:62.5%
Alder leaf because
of the shape of
20:25.866 --> 20:27.533 align:left position:30% line:83% size:60%
those leaves, and
just beyond it
20:27.533 --> 20:29.300 align:left position:30% line:83% size:60%
something called
good common name,
20:29.300 --> 20:31.966 align:left position:27.5% line:83% size:62.5%
Utah Serviceberry.
Leaves look a little
20:31.966 --> 20:33.566 align:left position:15% line:89% size:75%
like that Mountain Mahogany,
20:33.566 --> 20:35.500 align:left position:25% line:83% size:65%
but they're wider you
see in the
20:35.500 --> 20:36.966 align:left position:20% line:89% size:70%
Mountain Mahogany Leaves,
20:36.966 --> 20:38.133 align:left position:32.5% line:83% size:57.5%
Jim: Rudy right
here at the edge of
20:38.133 --> 20:39.566 align:left position:22.5% line:89% size:67.5%
the trail, some bones.
20:39.566 --> 20:41.366 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
Rudy: Oh, my goodness, and these
bones. This is perfect.
20:41.366 --> 20:43.800 align:left position:40% line:83% size:50%
These two
bones will give us
20:43.800 --> 20:46.800 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
an identification without
any trouble at all.
20:46.800 --> 20:48.333 align:left position:30% line:83% size:60%
Jim: Rudy how can
you so quickly say
20:48.333 --> 20:50.533 align:left position:30% line:83% size:60%
it's going to be
easy to tell what it is?
20:50.533 --> 20:51.833 align:left position:17.5% line:83% size:72.5%
Rudy: Well, this is one of
the bones called a
20:51.833 --> 20:53.633 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
metapodial bone and look
at the end of it as
20:53.633 --> 20:55.100 align:left position:22.5% line:83% size:67.5%
you go down the shaft.
You see this
20:55.100 --> 20:56.600 align:left position:30% line:83% size:60%
hand right here,
there's a little
20:56.600 --> 20:58.600 align:left position:30% line:83% size:60%
articulation area
with one little read
20:58.600 --> 21:01.233 align:left position:25% line:83% size:65%
right in the middle.
This is one bone
21:01.233 --> 21:03.233 align:left position:12.5% line:83% size:77.5%
that leads to three toe bones.
And when you've
21:03.233 --> 21:05.033 align:left position:35% line:83% size:55%
got a single
one like this,
21:05.033 --> 21:07.566 align:left position:25% line:83% size:65%
there's only one toe
at the end.
21:07.566 --> 21:08.800 align:left position:25% line:83% size:65%
And there's only one
animal that we've
21:08.800 --> 21:10.633 align:left position:25% line:83% size:65%
got that has one toe
with the head.
21:10.633 --> 21:13.300 align:left position:27.5% line:83% size:62.5%
And that's a horse.
So this is one of the bones,
21:13.300 --> 21:15.633 align:left position:40% line:83% size:50%
basically
like the palm of
21:15.633 --> 21:18.066 align:left position:30% line:83% size:60%
your hand bones a
metacarpal that was
21:18.066 --> 21:19.966 align:left position:15% line:83% size:75%
in the lower leg of a horse.
Let me turn it over
21:19.966 --> 21:21.200 align:left position:30% line:83% size:60%
to I'll show you
something else
21:21.200 --> 21:24.366 align:left position:30% line:83% size:60%
interesting horse
runs on its middle
21:24.366 --> 21:26.866 align:left position:30% line:83% size:60%
toe so to speak.
Here's a remnant of
21:26.866 --> 21:29.100 align:left position:17.5% line:83% size:72.5%
another toe, see that right
here.
21:29.100 --> 21:30.666 align:left position:10% line:89% size:80%
See that running along the side.
21:30.666 --> 21:32.000 align:left position:17.5% line:83% size:72.5%
And then there's actually a
little space on the
21:32.000 --> 21:33.500 align:left position:30% line:83% size:60%
other side where
there used to be
21:33.500 --> 21:35.900 align:left position:12.5% line:83% size:77.5%
another remnant of another toe.
What's the other
21:35.900 --> 21:37.466 align:left position:27.5% line:83% size:62.5%
bone in your hand.
The other one
21:37.466 --> 21:40.066 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
is called an Astragalus.
This is a very,
21:40.066 --> 21:42.100 align:left position:32.5% line:83% size:57.5%
very hard bone.
And you see
21:42.100 --> 21:43.733 align:left position:30% line:83% size:60%
those two little
ridges on it.
21:43.733 --> 21:45.366 align:left position:22.5% line:83% size:67.5%
And you'll see the way
they're tilted at an
21:45.366 --> 21:47.566 align:left position:27.5% line:83% size:62.5%
angle a little bit.
It's either tilted a
21:47.566 --> 21:48.966 align:left position:27.5% line:83% size:62.5%
little in an angle,
they're not straight
21:48.966 --> 21:51.033 align:left position:35% line:83% size:55%
up and down.
They're actually coming off
21:51.033 --> 21:53.200 align:left position:22.5% line:83% size:67.5%
at an angle like that.
And the only
21:53.200 --> 21:55.566 align:left position:15% line:83% size:75%
animal that hasn't astragalus
like this is a horse.
21:55.566 --> 21:57.466 align:left position:20% line:89% size:70%
So this is a domesticated
21:57.466 --> 22:00.033 align:left position:10% line:89% size:80%
animal that was once right here,
22:00.033 --> 22:01.833 align:left position:27.5% line:83% size:62.5%
Jim: A horse has a
single hoof the cow
22:01.833 --> 22:03.866 align:left position:25% line:83% size:65%
a cloven hoof. So it
would make it much different.
22:03.866 --> 22:05.033 align:left position:37.5% line:83% size:52.5%
Rudy: Yeah,
this bone would be
22:05.033 --> 22:06.966 align:left position:27.5% line:83% size:62.5%
split at the bottom
instead of single.
22:06.966 --> 22:08.766 align:left position:27.5% line:83% size:62.5%
Jim: Where to from
here?
22:08.766 --> 22:21.266 align:left position:17.5% line:83% size:72.5%
Rudy: Well let's put these
down in head back up top.
22:21.266 --> 22:22.733 align:left position:27.5% line:83% size:62.5%
Jim: We've come to
the lowest point in
22:22.733 --> 22:25.600 align:left position:30% line:83% size:60%
the park at 6600
feet all the way to
22:25.600 --> 22:29.633 align:left position:25% line:83% size:65%
the highest point at
over 9000 feet,
22:29.633 --> 22:32.100 align:left position:22.5% line:83% size:67.5%
also the end of that 18
mile park road.
22:32.100 --> 22:33.666 align:left position:30% line:83% size:60%
Rudy: Now this is
amazing too,
22:33.666 --> 22:35.033 align:left position:22.5% line:83% size:67.5%
because of the habitat
changes that we've
22:35.033 --> 22:36.900 align:left position:25% line:83% size:65%
already talked about.
And look at
22:36.900 --> 22:38.400 align:left position:27.5% line:83% size:62.5%
the big trees right
in front of us here
22:38.400 --> 22:40.766 align:left position:27.5% line:83% size:62.5%
and I bet you this
was Douglas Fir that
22:40.766 --> 22:43.566 align:left position:12.5% line:83% size:77.5%
grew to be a pretty good size,
but not very old
22:43.566 --> 22:45.233 align:left position:37.5% line:83% size:52.5%
really when
you compare it to
22:45.233 --> 22:47.766 align:left position:27.5% line:83% size:62.5%
other tree species
right on this point.
22:47.766 --> 22:49.866 align:left position:25% line:83% size:65%
Bristle Cone Pine is
the one that's I
22:49.866 --> 22:51.433 align:left position:25% line:83% size:65%
guess known worldwide
because of its age.
22:51.433 --> 22:53.766 align:left position:37.5% line:83% size:52.5%
It doesn't
seem to die back
22:53.766 --> 22:55.766 align:left position:22.5% line:83% size:67.5%
one part'll die and it
continues to grow
22:55.766 --> 22:56.700 align:left position:30% line:89% size:60%
and grow and grow
22:56.700 --> 22:58.500 align:left position:27.5% line:83% size:62.5%
Jim: So unique tree
and said to be one
22:58.500 --> 23:00.966 align:left position:15% line:83% size:75%
of the oldest trees on earth
as far as that species.
23:00.966 --> 23:01.966 align:left position:30% line:83% size:60%
Rudy: And the way
those needles grow
23:01.966 --> 23:03.466 align:left position:25% line:83% size:65%
it almost looks like
the tail of a fox or
23:03.466 --> 23:05.700 align:left position:25% line:83% size:65%
something on the end
pretty easily identified.
23:05.700 --> 23:07.566 align:left position:22.5% line:83% size:67.5%
Jim: That tree in fact,
they say
23:07.566 --> 23:11.033 align:left position:25% line:83% size:65%
1600 years old Rudy.
Rudy: It's amazing.
23:11.033 --> 23:12.500 align:left position:32.5% line:83% size:57.5%
Here's another
Douglas Fir now that
23:12.500 --> 23:15.300 align:left position:27.5% line:83% size:62.5%
is living alive and
well I see a few
23:15.300 --> 23:18.466 align:left position:30% line:83% size:60%
cones on it with
those little little
23:18.466 --> 23:20.200 align:left position:27.5% line:83% size:62.5%
cracks between the
scales that are so
23:20.200 --> 23:22.100 align:left position:17.5% line:83% size:72.5%
interesting and so typical.
And then one
23:22.100 --> 23:24.166 align:left position:32.5% line:83% size:57.5%
that's typical
of this forest,
23:24.166 --> 23:26.500 align:left position:30% line:83% size:60%
White Fir is the
common name for it.
23:26.500 --> 23:29.433 align:left position:27.5% line:83% size:62.5%
The needles on that
turn up you can see
23:29.433 --> 23:30.666 align:left position:30% line:83% size:60%
pretty clearly on
the end of the
23:30.666 --> 23:32.766 align:left position:27.5% line:83% size:62.5%
branches there that
was in trouble here
23:32.766 --> 23:34.766 align:left position:27.5% line:83% size:62.5%
because of a little
moth it's it seems
23:34.766 --> 23:36.033 align:left position:22.5% line:89% size:67.5%
to be killing it back.
23:36.033 --> 23:37.566 align:left position:25% line:83% size:65%
Jim: So name for the
zone could be the
23:37.566 --> 23:39.000 align:left position:32.5% line:89% size:57.5%
Canadian zone.
23:39.000 --> 23:41.300 align:left position:25% line:83% size:65%
Rudy: Yeah. And look
at the Quaking Aspen
23:41.300 --> 23:44.166 align:left position:32.5% line:83% size:57.5%
their beautiful
white bark on it.
23:44.166 --> 23:47.466 align:left position:37.5% line:83% size:52.5%
Leaves just
twittering in, the in
23:47.466 --> 23:49.700 align:left position:25% line:83% size:65%
the breeze trembling
or quaking in the breeze.
23:49.700 --> 23:52.100 align:left position:27.5% line:83% size:62.5%
So the common name.
Now the plant here.
23:52.100 --> 23:53.833 align:left position:15% line:89% size:75%
That's so typical of northern
23:53.833 --> 23:56.400 align:left position:15% line:89% size:75%
climbs and higher elevations,
23:56.400 --> 23:59.800 align:left position:17.5% line:83% size:72.5%
Ground Juniper or a Common
Juniper related to
23:59.800 --> 24:01.900 align:left position:30% line:83% size:60%
that Utah Juniper
that we saw earlier,
24:01.900 --> 24:04.700 align:left position:30% line:83% size:60%
but low growing.
And then of course,
24:04.700 --> 24:06.333 align:left position:27.5% line:83% size:62.5%
the views when you
get this high,
24:06.333 --> 24:09.233 align:left position:32.5% line:83% size:57.5%
you can see the
stairstep of plateaus,
24:09.233 --> 24:19.433 align:left position:27.5% line:83% size:62.5%
and the canyons off
in the distance.
24:19.433 --> 24:21.100 align:left position:27.5% line:83% size:62.5%
Jim: One of the men
most responsible for
24:21.100 --> 24:23.600 align:left position:30% line:83% size:60%
the park was J.W.
Humphrey in 1915.
24:23.600 --> 24:25.733 align:left position:30% line:83% size:60%
When he first saw
this view,
24:25.733 --> 24:27.500 align:left position:22.5% line:83% size:67.5%
his friends had to pull
him back from the
24:27.500 --> 24:29.200 align:left position:17.5% line:89% size:72.5%
edge at the end of the day.
24:29.200 --> 24:30.266 align:left position:27.5% line:83% size:62.5%
Rudy: Well, this is
a special place.
24:30.266 --> 24:31.700 align:left position:15% line:83% size:75%
There's no doubt about that.
And thank goodness
24:31.700 --> 24:33.100 align:left position:30% line:83% size:60%
the National Park
Service protects
24:33.100 --> 24:35.666 align:left position:25% line:83% size:65%
places like this and
gives us access to
24:35.666 --> 24:37.466 align:left position:35% line:83% size:55%
them and some
interpretation
24:37.466 --> 24:39.100 align:left position:17.5% line:83% size:72.5%
and the variety of habitats
here is spectacular,
24:39.100 --> 24:41.133 align:left position:12.5% line:89% size:77.5%
good mix of plants and animals.
24:41.133 --> 24:42.933 align:left position:32.5% line:83% size:57.5%
And of course,
a wonderful
24:42.933 --> 24:44.733 align:left position:30% line:83% size:60%
geological story.
Love the mix.
24:44.733 --> 24:46.466 align:left position:35% line:83% size:55%
Jim: Truly an
incredible landscape
24:46.466 --> 24:49.300 align:left position:25% line:83% size:65%
here at Bryce Canyon
National Park in
