an interesting sight - what appeared to be a fully metamorphosed adult just hanging out in a vernal pool!

This marten has some scratches on the left side of his/her face.

Captured, handled, and released under the authorization of state and federal permits.

Note the snack in its mouth. It's a frog eat frog world.

I found this guy under a branch in my backyard, and picked him up. As soon as I did, he started barfing up a California Slender Salamander... STILL ALIVE!!!!

In pitcher of Nepenthes mollis.

Plants at this location are much larger than the Ione location. Growing with Arctostaphylos mewukka, manzanita, viscida,

this observation is for the plant, not the chameleon

Lovely little fish. Not shy at all! Came swimming right up when I touched the surface of the water, and swam right into the basket. Larger fish in the deeper water were not so naive.

Three tailed gecko!

This is the 15 foot, 1700 lb female Great White that was trapped in the West Gutter of Naushon in 2004. The shark was stranded in the creek for more than two weeks and was a national story.

Cascade salamander

I saw these two condors mating. Looking up their wing tags, they're Beak Boy and Solo, a mated pair:

I’m curious if this is a steller’s jay, blue jay, or some sort of hybrid?
