 Hummingbird
The hummingbird will perch on branches near a feeder and 'guard' it. No matter if it is hungry or not, it will chase away another bird from a feeder it considers all its own. The antics are funny to watch as they zip around the house and through the yard. And while the two are chasing, a third may have snuck in to your feeder to get a drink! Unless you have a very large population of hummingbirds, they will become territorial, especially at mating time. |

 Protect Your Dog For example, at temperatures of 40, 50, 60 or even 70 degrees Fahrenheit (depending on humidity levels) leaving your dog in the car can turn into a fatality. Dog heat stroke happens fast. Many places have laws about leaving an animal unattended in a vehicle and the places that don't, should.
Think about it! If it's 70 degrees, humidity is low but all the car windows are rolled up with a 1-3" opening, the car is in the direct sun, or even the shade, and you're leaving your dog in the car for more than 10 minutes, could this be a problem?

 Unclaimed Money ? The New Mexican city of Cimarron, once known as the "Cowboy capital of the world", was home to Kit Carson and "Buffalo Bill" Cody. And just as the Carlsbad Caverns (whose largest chamber is more than 10 football fields long and about 22 stories high) houses tens of thousands of American bats, the State's Taxation and Revenue Department is home to almost one hundred million dollars in New Mexico unclaimed money. |

 Yucca Flowers Yuccas are in the lily family as indicated by their cream-colored, bell-shaped flowers. Yuccas are actually trunkless shrubs also related to the cassava or tapioca family. Yucca leaves contain strong fibers that can be used to make ropes. Yucca roots contain a natural red dye used for baskets.
Cacti are distinctive and unusual plants, adapted to extremely arid and hot climates, with a wide range of features which conserve water. Their stems have expanded into green succulent structures containing the chlorophyll necessary for life and growth, while the leaves have become the spines for which cacti are so well known.
