"content": "\u003cp>I have to admit I had a bit of trepidation when QUEST set out to tell the story about \u003ca href=\"http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dosidicus_gigas\" target=\"_blank\">Humboldt squid\u003c/a> (\u003cem>Dosidicus gigas\u003c/em>). The squid have aggressively expanded their territorial range from the warmer equatorial Pacific to waters off central California. These are not the little market squid you might be used to seeing. “Jumbo” squid can grow up to six feet long, have barbed tentacles and a powerful, razor-sharp parrot-like beak. They have also arrived with a somewhat nasty reputation. In Mexico, where they have the nickname “Diablos Rojos,” or “red devils,” there are stories of fishermen falling overboard and being pulled below, never to be seen again. But that’s not what made me nervous.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I get seasick.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Still, I love being out on the ocean and never turn down the chance to get out beyond the breakers. We set out on the charter fishing boat Huli Cat from \u003ca href=\"http://montereybay.noaa.gov/visitor/access/pillar.html\" target=\"_blank\">Pillar Point Harbor\u003c/a> near Half Moon Bay. The boat was aiming for an area the captain called the “Dover Grounds,” about 20 miles out to sea. On the way, we passed a migrating pod of Humpback whales, coming so close that we could smell their breath as they spouted.

The squid have aggressively expanded their territorial range from the warmer equatorial Pacific to waters off central California. These are not the little market squid you might be used to seeing. “Jumbo” squid can grow up to six feet long, have barbed tentacles and a powerful, razor-sharp parrot-like beak. They have also arrived with a somewhat nasty reputation. In Mexico, where they have the nickname “Diablos Rojos,” or “red devils,” there are stories of fishermen falling overboard and being pulled below, never to be seen again. But that’s not what made me nervous.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I get seasick.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Still, I love being out on the ocean and never turn down the chance to get out beyond the breakers. We set out on the charter fishing boat Huli Cat from \u003ca href=\"http://montereybay.noaa.gov/visitor/access/pillar.html\" target=\"_blank\">Pillar Point Harbor\u003c/a> near Half Moon Bay. The boat was aiming for an area the captain called the “Dover Grounds,” about 20 miles out to sea. On the way, we passed a migrating pod of Humpback whales, coming so close that we could smell their breath as they spouted. We passed through vast fields of pink jellyfish that covered the surface as far as the eye could see. We saw \u003ca href=\"http://www.oceanlight.com/html/mola_mola.html\" target=\"_blank\">mola mola\u003c/a> (or ocean sunfish) rising to the surface to be cleaned by waiting seagulls.

Plants also feel the call of spring and respond. They too show off their brightest colors, excrete their most seductive scents and attempt to lure a mate. Of course, plants can't move (very quickly), so they hire a pollinating partner, and pay them to assist with reproduction.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Pollination is the act of moving pollen from the male anther to the female stigma. Plants work hard to attract these pollinators, and nectar is their delicious reward. Plants and their flowers take their job of attracting so seriously, that they have evolved to become irresistible to their pollinator. Pollinators, in turn, have adapted to a particular plant. Some of these Co-evolved partners have become so exclusive, that one could not survive without the other. Thus, attracting that pollinator is vital. Perhaps, with these tricks of attraction, we can all have a successful spring!\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Like some humans, snapdragons have stooped to trapping.

Plants also feel the call of spring and respond. They too show off their brightest colors, excrete their most seductive scents and attempt to lure a mate. Of course, plants can't move (very quickly), so they hire a pollinating partner, and pay them to assist with reproduction.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Pollination is the act of moving pollen from the male anther to the female stigma. Plants work hard to attract these pollinators, and nectar is their delicious reward. Plants and their flowers take their job of attracting so seriously, that they have evolved to become irresistible to their pollinator. Pollinators, in turn, have adapted to a particular plant. Some of these Co-evolved partners have become so exclusive, that one could not survive without the other. Thus, attracting that pollinator is vital. Perhaps, with these tricks of attraction, we can all have a successful spring!\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Like some humans, snapdragons have stooped to trapping.

Alum Rock got its name from a powder that coats some of the rocks in the park, which early visitors to the area mistakenly thought was alum. That powder is, in fact, made of sulfur, gypsum, and other substances, and it’s a hint to the area’s volcanic history.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Other clues to Alum Rock’s geologic activity abound, some more obvious than others. Perhaps most notable are the springs you’re likely to spot shortly after you come in. Bubbling up from underground, the water is warmed by heat that still remains in the earth from the volcanoes that were once active here. Stop at any of the small shelters that house \"faucets\" of these springs, and you’ll get a whiff of the sulfur and other aromatic minerals that have dissolved into the hot water as it flows up from the ground.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Hike around the grounds and you'll encounter some of the other, more subtle evidence of the park's busy geology, as well as take in its bountiful wildlife offerings. Central to the hiking trails is a canyon, which hosts a creek (some of it in the form of those bubbling mineral springs) running through it. Granite and sandstone boulders populate the canyon, having been washed down from the hilltops above, evidence of powerful storm activity. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Like so many twisted landscapes in northern California, the rock layers in these hillsides are chronologically upside-down, with the youngest swaths at the bottom, the oldest on the top. That’s the result of the steady crunching of tectonic plates over millions of years, folding the earth's crust over on itself. \u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>One Canyon, many Climates\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan class=\"right\">\u003cimg src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/quest/wp-content/uploads/sites/39/imp/leafy.jpg\">\u003c/span>Leafy trees, soft mosses, and other water-loving plants populate the riparian area next to the creek. The resulting topography and the mineral springs of Alum Rock lend the park a variety of niches and microenvironments. Spend a day exploring, and you'll see that the canyon sides boast different habitats, owing to the different climates of their north- and south-facing slopes. Forests with oak, sycamore, and other large trees populate the damper, shadier north-facing sides. Deeper in the canyon, the trees are joined by ferns and horsetails, which soak up the moisture of the creek. On the drier south-facing slopes, low bushes, shrubs, and grasses make a scrubby chaparral. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>These numerous environments provide inviting homes for a huge array of critters, from the small and squiggly to the large and furry. The relatively unpolluted stream teems with insects that often become the subjects of study (and squeamishness) for students at the nearby \u003ca href=\"http://www.ysi-ca.org/\">Youth Science Institute\u003c/a>. Even the algae growing on rocks among the springs are enticing, sporting a rainbow of colors that reflect the minerals in their watery habitat.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The park's bird populations, which change with the seasons, also make it popular with the binocular set. Golden eagles and red-shouldered hawks are spotted regularly, along with hundreds of other species. And it's not unusual to see a deer or even a bobcat wander by the trail: the park's large acreage and moderate number of visitors mean that wildlife rules here. \u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>Nature Springs Anew\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan class=\"right\">\u003cimg src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/quest/wp-content/uploads/sites/39/imp/alum_baths.jpg\">\u003c/span>During the park's past life as a spa, bathers would settle into soaking pools like this one, hoping to gain some medicinal benefit from the spring's mineral waters. The ambiance of the park as a nature reserve is actually a somewhat recent development. Alum Rock, known until a century ago as \"the reservation,\" has thrived as a popular outdoor playground since the early 1800s, even while ownership of the land comprising it shifted from Spain to Mexico to the U.S. With its many mineral springs, Alum Rock became a fashionable spa of sorts, eventually hosting a huge indoor swimming pool, private baths, concessions, a bandstand, and a restaurant.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>From the mid-1800s until just decades ago, people flocked to Alum Rock from around the country to soak in the park’s warm mineral waters, which many claimed had medicinal benefits. Some Sundays, as many as 10,000 visitors were swarm Alum Rock’s hillsides and hot pools. The park had so many visitors that, by the early 70s, the native plants and animals were nearly overrun. In response, San Jose decided to return Alum Rock back to its more natural state. The city demolished the pool, removed many of the buildings, and closed some areas of the park. As a result, natural habitats in the park have flourished with the return of many species of birds, insects, and other wildlife.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As John Harshman, a teacher at the Youth Science Institute described it, \"Nature is about as undisturbed here as it can be in the middle of an urban area.\" Natural phenomena continue to exert forces of change on Alum Rock's landscape. The park’s original entrance was closed in 2000 due to a storm-induced landslide. And in October 2007, nearby residents were shaken by an earthquake centered just five miles from Alum Rock. As a result, one of its previously idle springs flowed back to life-- perhaps a reminder that nature can return to a place even when the potential for it seems to have dried up.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>\u003ca href=\"http://www.nnvesj.org/Archives/ARPHistory.htm\">Alum Rock Park History, by Judy Thompson\u003c/a> and \u003ca href=\"http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alum_Rock_Park\">Wikipedia: Alum Rock Park\u003c/a> served as sources for this article.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>Events in Briones Regional Park\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>The East Bay Regional Park District offers a number of activities in Briones Regional Park and many other nearby parks. \u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>Learn More About Wildlife\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>If you're interested in learning more about the wildlife of the East Bay, the \u003ca href=\"http://www.ebparks.org/parks/tilden/tna\" target=\"_blank\">Tilden Nature Area\u003c/a> Programs offers many options in Berkeley's Tilden Regional Park.

Alum Rock got its name from a powder that coats some of the rocks in the park, which early visitors to the area mistakenly thought was alum. That powder is, in fact, made of sulfur, gypsum, and other substances, and it’s a hint to the area’s volcanic history.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Other clues to Alum Rock’s geologic activity abound, some more obvious than others. Perhaps most notable are the springs you’re likely to spot shortly after you come in. Bubbling up from underground, the water is warmed by heat that still remains in the earth from the volcanoes that were once active here. Stop at any of the small shelters that house \"faucets\" of these springs, and you’ll get a whiff of the sulfur and other aromatic minerals that have dissolved into the hot water as it flows up from the ground.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Hike around the grounds and you'll encounter some of the other, more subtle evidence of the park's busy geology, as well as take in its bountiful wildlife offerings. Central to the hiking trails is a canyon, which hosts a creek (some of it in the form of those bubbling mineral springs) running through it. Granite and sandstone boulders populate the canyon, having been washed down from the hilltops above, evidence of powerful storm activity. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Like so many twisted landscapes in northern California, the rock layers in these hillsides are chronologically upside-down, with the youngest swaths at the bottom, the oldest on the top. That’s the result of the steady crunching of tectonic plates over millions of years, folding the earth's crust over on itself. \u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>One Canyon, many Climates\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan class=\"right\">\u003cimg src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/quest/wp-content/uploads/sites/39/imp/leafy.jpg\">\u003c/span>Leafy trees, soft mosses, and other water-loving plants populate the riparian area next to the creek. The resulting topography and the mineral springs of Alum Rock lend the park a variety of niches and microenvironments. Spend a day exploring, and you'll see that the canyon sides boast different habitats, owing to the different climates of their north- and south-facing slopes. Forests with oak, sycamore, and other large trees populate the damper, shadier north-facing sides. Deeper in the canyon, the trees are joined by ferns and horsetails, which soak up the moisture of the creek. On the drier south-facing slopes, low bushes, shrubs, and grasses make a scrubby chaparral. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>These numerous environments provide inviting homes for a huge array of critters, from the small and squiggly to the large and furry. The relatively unpolluted stream teems with insects that often become the subjects of study (and squeamishness) for students at the nearby \u003ca href=\"http://www.ysi-ca.org/\">Youth Science Institute\u003c/a>. Even the algae growing on rocks among the springs are enticing, sporting a rainbow of colors that reflect the minerals in their watery habitat.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The park's bird populations, which change with the seasons, also make it popular with the binocular set. Golden eagles and red-shouldered hawks are spotted regularly, along with hundreds of other species. And it's not unusual to see a deer or even a bobcat wander by the trail: the park's large acreage and moderate number of visitors mean that wildlife rules here. \u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>Nature Springs Anew\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan class=\"right\">\u003cimg src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/quest/wp-content/uploads/sites/39/imp/alum_baths.jpg\">\u003c/span>During the park's past life as a spa, bathers would settle into soaking pools like this one, hoping to gain some medicinal benefit from the spring's mineral waters. The ambiance of the park as a nature reserve is actually a somewhat recent development. Alum Rock, known until a century ago as \"the reservation,\" has thrived as a popular outdoor playground since the early 1800s, even while ownership of the land comprising it shifted from Spain to Mexico to the U.S. With its many mineral springs, Alum Rock became a fashionable spa of sorts, eventually hosting a huge indoor swimming pool, private baths, concessions, a bandstand, and a restaurant.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>From the mid-1800s until just decades ago, people flocked to Alum Rock from around the country to soak in the park’s warm mineral waters, which many claimed had medicinal benefits. Some Sundays, as many as 10,000 visitors were swarm Alum Rock’s hillsides and hot pools. The park had so many visitors that, by the early 70s, the native plants and animals were nearly overrun. In response, San Jose decided to return Alum Rock back to its more natural state. The city demolished the pool, removed many of the buildings, and closed some areas of the park. As a result, natural habitats in the park have flourished with the return of many species of birds, insects, and other wildlife.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As John Harshman, a teacher at the Youth Science Institute described it, \"Nature is about as undisturbed here as it can be in the middle of an urban area.\" Natural phenomena continue to exert forces of change on Alum Rock's landscape. The park’s original entrance was closed in 2000 due to a storm-induced landslide. And in October 2007, nearby residents were shaken by an earthquake centered just five miles from Alum Rock. As a result, one of its previously idle springs flowed back to life-- perhaps a reminder that nature can return to a place even when the potential for it seems to have dried up.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>\u003ca href=\"http://www.nnvesj.org/Archives/ARPHistory.htm\">Alum Rock Park History, by Judy Thompson\u003c/a> and \u003ca href=\"http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alum_Rock_Park\">Wikipedia: Alum Rock Park\u003c/a> served as sources for this article.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>Events in Briones Regional Park\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>The East Bay Regional Park District offers a number of activities in Briones Regional Park and many other nearby parks. \u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>Learn More About Wildlife\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>If you're interested in learning more about the wildlife of the East Bay, the \u003ca href=\"http://www.ebparks.org/parks/tilden/tna\" target=\"_blank\">Tilden Nature Area\u003c/a> Programs offers many options in Berkeley's Tilden Regional Park.
