Women’s History Month Spotlight | Angela Tobin, General Manager at Canyon Lake Marina.

Angela has served her marina for many years and has been a steady, calming presence during one of the most challenging drought periods Canyon Lake has faced. Through low water levels and uncertainty, she led her team with resilience, strength, and heart—always showing up and keeping everyone moving forward.

Recently promoted to General Manager, Angela’s advancement reflects the impact she continues to make. Canyon Lake is stronger because of her leadership, and we’re proud to celebrate her this Women’s History Month.

Way ta go!

Wildlife Wednesday: From the Desk of Gil Martinez, Honey Creek SNA Superintendent

In my opinion, nothing is more iconic and indicative of the Southwest than the western diamondback rattlesnake (Crotalus atrox)! This species elicits both awe and fear, with the latter rooted more in misunderstanding and misinformation than in science. The fact is, this species is an integral part of our ecosystem, serving as both predator and prey within the ecological community.

This species feeds on small mammals, birds, lizards, and sometimes other snakes, and in return is consumed by birds of prey, coyotes, bobcats, and another staple of the Southwest, the roadrunner! The diamondback also acts as a secondary seed dispersal agent, providing an essential service to plant diversity. Rodents and birds consume seeds, and when these prey items are eaten by the snake, the seeds pass through two digestive systems. This process helps break down the seed coat, allowing for greater germination rates once they are ā€œdepositedā€ back into the soil. With its slower digestive rate compared to its warm-blooded prey, seeds are dispersed farther, promoting greater plant diversity.

This species is often vilified due to its menacing appearance and toxic bite. In truth, however, the primary role of venom is to aid in energy acquisition and digestion, with defense being secondary. Venom is metabolically expensive to produce, and its use is often metered. The snake typically uses only enough to incapacitate its prey. Rattlesnakes have other means of defense, primarily camouflage and the infamous rattle. Only when push comes to shove will the snake strike. Even then, a large percentage of bites reported to medical authorities are ā€œdry bites,ā€ further evidence to suggest that the animal does not want to waste this valuable resource.

If you happen to encounter this species or any wildlife in our parks, please give it space and simply enjoy the presence of a remarkable product of nature!
