		One of these islands, Round Island, is the last refuge for four species: Phelsuma guentheri, Leiolopisma telfairii, Bolyeria multocarinata and Casarea dussumieri, which together with four more species form a relict herpetofauna of great scientific and conservation interest.
		Along with deciding to eradicate many of the introduced plants and mammals that have had negative effects on the islands, plans were resolved to begin a breeding program with the sole surviving tortoise of the Pinta race and several female tortoises from a nearby island.
		Eggs gathered in plastic bags from laying females at Rancho Nuevo were packed in Padre Island sand in an attempt to imprint the turtles to Padre Island.

		Packed onto this small island are rain forests, thorn scrub, wetlands, and karst formations, as well as an estimated 3.8 million people and their roads, houses, and attendant development.
		These fallow lands have reverted to pasture and forests, to the point that today the island, at close to 40 percent forested, has the most extensive forest cover since the turn of the century.
		In some cases the regreening of the island has been nothing short of impressive, with lands under sugar cane cultivation reverting to dense forest in a span of only 24 years.

	The Cycling Eye
		Covered with low-lying scrub and fringed by a rocky shoreline, Jango Island is a tiny fishing community which 350 residents call “home.” It has several beaches with coarse sand but its waters are cool with small waves and on this day, quite clear and free of the floating debris common to these parts.
		We passed mountainous island after island, some vegetated with pine forests, others with what appeared to be jungles and some with just light scrub.
		Interestingly enough, the pebble beach on that side of the island has been turned into a toxic waste dump, --well maybe not toxic but it was pretty damn disgusting -- by the local farmers despite the fact that the island is part of a Korean National Park.

	Hilbre Island
		A kestrel surveyed his island from the top of a flag pole for some time, but flew off to hover above the scrub along the top of the beach as I came near.
		As I came up to Little Hilbre, the gutter running along the landward side was already filling with water, and as I came around the corner of the island, I found that a huge flock of oystercatchers were resting in the gap.
		I went back to Hilbre Island, for the first time in years, at low tide, walking across the sand which spread out around me in all directions.

		The island fox is a habitat generalist, occurring in valley and foothill grasslands, southern coastal dunes, coastal bluff, coastal sage scrub, maritime cactus scrub, island chaparral, southern coastal oak woodland, southern riparian woodland, Bishop (Pinus muricata) and Torrey pine (Pinus torreyana) forests, and coastal marsh habitats.
		Island foxes on San Miguel Island were not surveyed again until 1993, when the NPS instituted a long-term population study, which recorded an average density of 20 foxes per mi\2\ (7.7 foxes per km\2\) on two trapping grids and estimated the total population at more than 300 foxes (Roemer et al.
		Island fox trapping efforts during 2000 and 2001 resulted in capture of 137 island foxes on the western end and 37 on the eastern portion of Santa Catalina Island, and a conservative population estimate of 225 foxes islandwide (Kohlmann et al.

		Because the island has a combination of maritime and desert associations, the vegetation that the shrikes inhabit are usually referred to as maritime desert scrub and maritime sage scrub (01).
		Cats were probably not common on the island until the 1930's when the establishment of the naval base on the island increased the human population and subsequently increased the cat population.
		Current factors limiting the abundance and distribution of shrikes on the island appears to be, 1) predation of breeding adults and newly fledged young and 2) the paucity of suitable nest shrubs over the northern half of the island.

	Merritt Island National Wildlife Refuge - Titusville Florida
		Merritt Island National Wildlife Refuge (MINWR) was established on August 28, 1963.

		Each year, thousands of acres of upland and marsh habitat are prescribed burned to rejuvenate the vegetation, add nutrients to the soil, and control woody vegetation such as willows that invade impoundments.

		There is also a Florida scrub jay and a recently described Island scrub jay (on California's Santa Cruz Island), neither of which is doing nearly as well as the widespread western scrub jay.
		Scrub jays are familiar in many rural and suburban areas of the western US, and especially in oak, pine, and chaparral areas in California.
		They often become very tame and their rasping 'shreck-shreck-shreck' call is a characteristic West Coast sound.

		The jay is an Island Scrub-Jay (Aphelocoma insularis) which was recently split from the widespread Western Scrub-Jay (Aphelocoma californica).
		It's clearly either an Island or Western scrub-jay and the two are easiest to identify by range.
		Inclusion of the wren was prompted by a particularly contentious report of a Sedge Wren this Fall in the San Francisco Bay Area.

	BirdForum - Western Scrub-jay correction
		The "California jay" is incorrect (despite the scientific name, Aphelocoma californica) and could be confusing as there is a California endemic species called "Island Scrub-Jay" (Aphelocoma insularis) which is found only on Santa Cruz Island off the southern California coast.
		Mostly in California you just hear Scrub Jay intending A. californica and excluding the insular Aphelocoma.
		Additionally, no NA field guide I'm aware of uses or has used the "California jay" designation, and I've never heard a single birder here call it that.

		Remnant populations of gopher tortoises and scrub lizards give a glimpse into the past when sand pine scrub was the dominant vegetation, before the property was planted in citrus and exotic ornamentals during the 1920s.
		Known as Street Audubon Nature Center, it was donated to Florida Audubon in 1970 by Norman and Louella Street, with the stipulation it be used as a nature center and sanctuary.
		The long-leaf pine house was built by the Streets and moved to the nature center.
