Age: middle.

Habitat: Napa Valley (really, at exactly 1,000 feet of elevation on a mountain forming the eastern edge of the Napa Valley), so I guess I am a westerner.

It is my belief (perhaps mistaken) that I am the only moderately conservative inhabitant of my immediate area. Without meaning any self-praise, where none is due, I may represent a species rarer and more endangered than even the California Gnatcatcher. You want to talk reduced and fragmented habitat!
