Pyracantha angustifolia invasive but allowed, new moon leads to great tidepooling
San Diego Bird Festival this weekend
Pyracantha angustifolia, also known as narrowleaf firethorn, slender firethorn, or woolly firethorn was initially considered for the "invasive plants" list in 2006 and again in 2016 but weren't added because the impact and risk from these plants is too low.
Narrowleaf Firethorn (Pyracantha angustifolia) Is At Its Prettiest Right Now across the county. Native to China, Pyracantha angustifolia is an evergreen shrub in the rose family that displays green leaves, spiky branches and bright red berries. It is one of three species of Pyracantha included on the Cal-IPC Inventory of invasive plants, although none are considered threatening. (Pyracantha crenulata and Pyracantha coccinea are not able to survive and reproduce without human help; Pyracantha angustifolia is much more widespread and has naturalized in California.) This time of year, its little white flowers attract bees and butterflies; soon, birds will nest in the bushes and eat the red berries. Typically, bird-borne seeds would lead to the species spreading, but this one is fond of moist climates, and its spread is therefore retarded in southern California. Most often seen in local landscaping, small pockets can sometimes be found in coastal scrub and riparian areas.

Very Low Tides On A String Of Days This Week coincide with optimum times of day for tidepooling. On Tuesday, February 25, the tide falls to a low of -1.21 feet at 2:12 pm. On Wednesday, February 26, the tide drops to -1.35 feet at 2:42 pm. Thursday afternoon’s low tide of -1.28 feet occurs at 3:!2 pm. Plenty of rocky stretches of coastline for tidepool gazing are available throughout the county, including Cabrillo National Monument, north Pacific Beach, and La Jolla.
The New Moon peaks On February 27 at 10:45 pm. The New Moon is sometimes seen as a period of rebirth... A great time to plant some seeds in anticipation of the gardening season ahead. Check out a Planting Calendar to see if it’s time to get those seedlings started.
It's a great weekend to observe and identify winter migratory birds at the San Diego Bay National Wildlife Refuge.
Whether Anza-Borrego Desert State Park, San Elijo Lagoon, or Mission Bay, with 530 bird species spotted in the County, San Diego is a mecca for all things avian. Winter watching (mid-December to mid-March) is considered the peak for local bird watching. A good way to wrap up the season every year is the San Diego Bird Festival, February 26th to March 2nd. The festival offers birding field trips, educational and social activities, classes, workshops, and keynote presentations.
