Hembra anidando
Una grata sorpresa poder inmortalizar a este individuo en el Parque Metropolitano de León. Los sonidos de alarma se dispararon entre patos, garzas y demás aves que estaban plácidamente alimentándose en la presa, pensé que era el Águila Pescadora, enfoco mi atención en el momento y de repente, entre los matorrales, viene a todo "galope"este hermoso Lince para intentar dar alcance a su presa. Todo fue tan rápido y emocionante, que solo puede realizar dos capturas con la cámara, sin embargo se pudo dar evidencia del
inusual registro.
Thinking this may be an Allen's but not sure. May be a Rufous
Captured during hummingbird banding. Shape of R2 separates from Rufous.
been trying to figure out where this bird was for two years... persistence, a hunch and a tip put this one on my life list after I shed a few tears, did a jig, and gave out a loud yelp later in the day
This observation is for the owl, not the ravens. The owl put up with the mobbing for a short while, but eventually decided to abandon its perch.
Pink/purple guts when gravid, size and locality are distinctive of A. labiata. A. aurita is in the North Sea, and A. sp1 is found in harbors. A. labiata is the most common moon jelly on open coast California.
Found in a swarm of brown sea nettles Chrysaora fuscescens at the Monterey breakwater.
Se trata de huellas izquierdas encimadas (la de la pata sobre la de la mano; primera foto)). Al lado están huellas de lince, también izquierdas y también encimadas (segunda foto).
Hacemos una atenta invitación a todos aquellos naturalistas que puedan ayudarnos a determinar que tipo de objeto es el que captó una de nuestras cámaras trampa. La forma es compacta, con una extraña protuberancia en la parte superior. No corresponde a ninguna hoja o materia vegetal. Probablemente se trate de algún objeto reflejante acuoso o iridiscente como algún insecto.
Transcurren cerca de 3 minutos entre las 3 fotografías, mientras comienza a llover.
Estaremos atentos ante sus aportaciones.
OK, I will test your patience with some scans of some old, marginal 35 mm slides. gcwarbler had retained many boxes of some of my culled slides from 20-30 years ago. I have enough to keep me busy for many weeks at least with scanning, etc. (thanks Chuck….I think!). These will all be of records I had not posted to iNat previously.

There's a separate record for the heron.
Red-crowned Parrot
emerging from nest cavity
San Benito,
Cameron Co., Texas
27 April 1995
image scanned from 35 mm slide
This bird has a big tuff of white down feathers stuck to its upper bill, making it seem as if it has a white forehead. It does not. With the white sky in the background this is difficult to make out on this 20 year old scanned slide. White-fronted Parrot, which might be suggested by a white forehead, do not occur in Texas and they have a large red patch surrounding the eye and are a smaller bird. Red-crowned Parrots have nested in this area since the late 1980s. This nest cavity was in a friend's yard and later fledged young.

This unusual male was seen with 3-4 normal hens, one of which he was ardently pursuing down the median. When he displayed he looked like the Elvis of turkeys!
Territorial angel. Leucistic, massively cute, and possibly the most photographed bird in Santa Cruz EVER -- and now I know why. Note the white eyelashes!!! Awww.
