One of a few of the spotted towhees that I saw this morning. I believe the towhee is eating a coffee berry in two of the photos.

They popped out of the sand, and they were about the size of quail eggs.

I observed two of these Chipmunks together, but was only able to photograph one of them. I was surprised to see them at this location as I have been visiting Eaton Canyon Natural area for years and have never seen them here before.

Perhaps my favorite observation ever. I wasn’t even looking for snakes when I heard something rustling in the bushes. I went to investigate and was pleasantly surprised to see a kingsnake. I was about to grab it but I quickly realized it had just grabbed a rattlesnake by the head which was what made that rustling noise. I watched the entire event from beginning to end which took about an hour. I have video of it too for anyone interested

This juvenile specimen was found in the pictured position in broad daylight. Occasionally it would twitch, but otherwise did not move.
Presently my suspicion was confirmed when a very large Pepsis flew over and started inspecting it (shown in third photo). Suddenly, it flew off, and did not come back.
A few minutes later, another tarantula hawk, this one smaller (shown in picture four), came scuttling through the grass behind the tarantula, and, to make a long story short, started dragging it off in the direction it had come.
Temperature was in the mid 70s°F. The day was overcast.
Thanks,

See this observation for the story of this specimen: https://www.inaturalist.org/observations/128505363
This specimen did not fly while I was observing it, even when it came back from its ostensible burrow to collect its quarry.
It seemed to drag the tarantula by its fangs.
Temperature was in the mid 70s°F. The day was overcast.
Thanks,
Arthroverts

Caught what looks to be Chalcoscirtus diminutus. Thought they were perhaps mating up until she popped off its head.

Man root on right, man on left. Found excavated by construction activity, took home to nurture, fed tea, then planted in native garden.
*2021 Update: the transplant didn't take and this sweet soul was lost to the world, buried dead as it had been buried alive.

Watched this spider the night before take on this inch worm with a blacklight. The spider won his dinner. Next morning the spider was still holding on. Above on a leaf, another smaller inch worm, looked paralyzed.

Found these south of the first popular water spot on the hike to the first waterfall at Eaton Canyon Natural Area. Their website says there are no naturally occurring at Eaton.

Found these in a small, still section of the stream coming from the waterfall at Eaton Canyon Natural Area. There were at least 3 under some branches that had fallen. Lots of mosquitoes around.

Based on by googling this type of small white plant I would want to say it's a licorice plant because of the light greenish-white color it is. This plant I found around the Eaton Canyon small garden.
