CLH born in Piha late 2017, banded in Piha January 2018.
Found this poor orphan in the garden, not to worry, took him to animal rescue.
Banded, saw this particular bird quite a few times over the course of the day

Leaves like I. bakeri, involucellar bractlets like I. rivularis, calyx length like I. longisepela, calyx shape like I. latibracteata. Interesting to say the least.

Blackwater night dive. This one fairly near the surface.
“GRIZZLY BEAR (1) The obvious highlight of the trip!!! While we were coming down from the Canada border (in Whatcom Co.), I spotted a distant speck in a meadow adjacent to the ridge we were on (~6,400’). Upon getting on it in binoculars, it became apparent that not only was it brown and huge, but it had a large hump between its shoulders. We watched it for about a half an hour and though distant, every now and then it would turn at the right angle and we could see the large facial disc typical of Grizzlies.”
Copied from my Tweeters post.
What an incredible encounter! I was just past Panorama Point, searching for White-tailed Ptarmigan when I turned around and saw it running up the snow towards me. It stopped and stared at me for a minute, before bouncing up the snow and continuing up the ridge following before going up and over the ridge and out of view. I got some great photos and took a few videos as well. Quite a surreal experience.
Mother was dead (car victim), took babies to Walden's Puddle rescue. Location is where found.

Eastern Bluebird?
Not positive here, but much smaller than any M. rufidula or M. occidentalis that have seen. Leaves less than 10mm long (one much larger pictured is a bit less than 20mm) with hairy margins. Found in shaded cracks of volcanic boulder; east facing. Apologies for the poor quality iPhone photos.
