A couple crawling away from the crashing sea at the high tide line climbing up some rocks. I assume the small black ones in image 2 are the same.

Probably imitating a Northern Goshawk. Alternatively, this could be a Northern Goshawk.

This is a potted Myosotis brevis and this flower visitor appeared in one of the frames of a focus stack. The flower is 1 mm diameter. Entomologists etc., any suggestions? Sorry about the focus, but this was accidental. Collembola is just my guess.

yay, pretty sure this is a first for me both sighting and getting photos. Spent 45 mins following them around back and forth over the 200m it seems they've decided to call home.

Nice to finally find an interesting Nudibranch in a rockpool. This tiny one was in a 'green' pool full of Ercolania. The pool was still very close to deep water so it would have been washed in.
~4 mm long

Genus PandemisObserver
bryanpfeifferDescription
Perhaps P. lamprosana or P. limitata. Or perhaps an Archips species. It was still alive after "the extraction" at my local emergency room at 2AM.
This specimen entered during nighttime observations at my lights. I could not for the life of me get it to fly out. (Hey, it happens.) So my gratitude goes to Dr. Kelvey Wilson and the staff at Central Vermont Medical Center in Berlin, Vermont.
(While this moth was in my ear, my speculation on its identity was Microcrambus elegans.)

kyletansleyDescription
Incredible experience with this Mink. She was moving her babies from one den to another. When I arrived, I was told she had already moved 2. I saw her move 2 more.
Not sure why she was doing this, but guessing her den was disturbed somehow. It is right next to a place where fishermen sit, but not sure if it was that or another animal that got up in there.
Such interesting behavior to see!
