Finally, an owl!

Funky looking borealis with somewhat pale head and bold borders on coverts.

Bathing and then crouching from dog walker

Immature/non-breeding in the parking lot

Identified by seek.

bright green mating-season lores

Right place, right time! A young man just pulled this out of the canal as I was passing him.

Big bear! Was using a zoom lens; last pic shows better the true distance

A weird one (at least nothing I'm familiar with). Clusters of irregular, hollow, thin-walled galls at base of Q. macrocarpa stems. Hidden in leaf litter.

Originally thought that it was a form of fungus, but then when closer realized it was a hive.

Growing on decaying log.

Observed in an indoor pot containing a Norfolk pine. The soil is a coco coir-based organic potting mix.

Juvenile calling / chirping from tree cavity. Didn't see a parent for the 10-15 minutes while I was observing.

Unsure, Potentially false rue anemone

Captured in quick moving murky water moving from the flooded areas back into the river via a small channel.
