Sorry, the observation was not made by me, but I’m still curious about the type of the air defense missile used.

The geo marker on this tree marks the location of Bache monument #6 of the Bache survey baseline used to establish the first accurate surveys of the East Coast. A. D. Bache was a West Point 1825 grad.
Plants short, mostly <0.5 m, inflorescence exserted in most and mostly under 2 cm wide except the especially haggard ones which slightly exceed that. Glumes about 1.0mm on avg and not particularly bowed. Possible state record, need to revisit next June to see if this thing is glaucous like it should be. On shell midden surrounded by salt marsh.
Historical record 1980, near Yathkyed Lake, Nunavut,
In open tundra, the group was in the process of forming a defensive circle due to the proximity of Canis lupus hudsonicus (wolves) which were distributed around the margins of the group. Third image identifies one of the wolves with an arrow.

Whistling calls heard before sighting the flock
Hunting Island’s first ever Green Sea Turtle nest!
Washed up on beach in early morning. NMFS responded and the animal was deemed unreleasable, and was put down. Tragic, but also an incredibly awesome sighting
Was at least 6ft long from nose to tail. Head was approximately the size of a basketball.
Resting on shore previous to this.

被漁民捕撈之個體
Observed relocation of nest located too close to high tide line. Volunteers excavated nest, carefully removed eggs, and closed up nesting hole. A new nest was excavated above the usual tide line, although proximity of eroded dune prevented location above storm tide, which occurred on 18 May. As eggs were placed into new nest, a count was made by volunteers. (Final count was unavailable to observer, although volunteer coordinator estimated +/- 115 eggs as an average for location.
Please help me identify this animal I believe to be a cougar. Pictures were caught in front of my house on my security camera at 3:39 am. I have video as well (see link below). I uploaded some prints of tracks in my yard but I am not an expert so I don't know if these are from this or another animal. These are only a couple of the pictures of tracks taken. I believe he was in my backyard as well as the front based on potential tracks as well as my dog's reaction to scents in the back yard in the morning. It looked like he walked down the driveway on hard ice but these prints could belong to him.
I have uploaded video to utube for viewing on this link: https://youtu.be/XxQEEh-49EM
Just a guess @karakaxa @featherenthusiast
Bird came in to playback, as part of a study. Other pictures/sightings on eBird. If you are looking for a bird guide on St. Vincent to see the warbler, I'd highly recommend Glenroy Gaymes! Contact info can be found here: https://caribbeanbirdingtrail.org/guides/

Couldn't resist uploading a few old UK rarity photos. All taken with a Minolta SLR (model I can't remember) and a Tamron 500mm SP mirror lens on slides and scanned with an Epson scanner. Quality awful but great memories.
Lifer for me and a truly flawless adult.
Specimen was sequenced (CO1 and 16S genes) and had 97.44% (CO1) and 96.85% (16S) identity with Acusta redfieldi. However this specimen could only be identified to genus-level
