Mandarin duck hanging out before sunset with other ducks on the pond. Visible for about a week.
Under log. My second time seeing a rattler in the Berkeley Hills, in the exact same wood pile, no less! Looks like I know where I'll be going more often this summer (and where other people should be avoiding more often too haha).
Going after turkey chicks and being chased by female turkey
My first rattlesnake sighting in the Berkeley Hills!!! I saw it out in the middle of the trail, chilling for the most part. It looked relatively young, no more than 2ft or so in length. I watched it for a good half hour and alerted other hikers to its presence before it slithered into a wood pile/woodrat nest adjacent to the trail. I'm pretty sure I heard plenty of rodents scurrying in there, which would provide good hunting for this fellow.
Male and female moths found together in the morning, camouflaged to look like bird droppings! Amazing!
