Birds are cool Posted February 2 Share Posted February 2 This morning the sunrise was really awesome. Five minutes earlier the sun was pink, so this photo doesn't do it justice. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Five minutes earlier the sun was pink, so this photo doesn't do it justice. Those pre-sunrise colours are often better than the actual sunrise colours, in my opinion. I'll make a suggestion for taking sunrise/sunset photos with your phone. If you turn your phone horizontally when photographing the horizon, you will capture more of the colourful horizon and less of the not so colourful clouds. I find it allows me to zoom in a lot more without cutting off the edges of the scene. Just something to consider when composing sunset photos. 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Connor Cochrane Posted February 7 Share Posted February 7 I'm not really a big helper but once a year during the rainy season I'll flip some logs in the backyard, and this time I found three of the four salamander species in the county. I'm sure @Seanbirds can correct any of my IDs if I'm wrong. California Slender Salamander - definitely the most common type, there were multiple under almost every log. Arboreal Salamander - A few around, seemed to be more than usual Ensatina - My first time seeing this species, thought it was a newt at first. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seanbirds Posted February 9 Share Posted February 9 @Connor Cochrane, all of your IDs appear to be correct. 1. Definitely. Like you said, the only slender salamander in range. 2. Yup, Arboreal. I think they look really cool for some reason. Maybe just the big head and all. I've heard they bite on rare occasions when handled. Ever had any first-hand experience with that? 3. The Ensatina looks good for a pure Yellow-eyed, but I'm not totally convinced that there isn't some Monterrey in it as well. Ugh, Ensatina subspecies drive me crazy. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seanbirds Posted February 9 Share Posted February 9 Also, @Birds are cool, I'm farily confident that your turtle is an Eastern Mud Turtle. ("Southeastern" ssp.) 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Connor Cochrane Posted February 9 Share Posted February 9 @Seanbirds Thanks. I was pretty certain about the first two but I wanted to confirm the third one (some people on inat agreed as well). From what I've heard the ensantinas are mostly a hybrid strain where I live between the two types. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hanasan Posted February 16 Share Posted February 16 Was watching Canadian geese at this park when I felt that someone was watching me. I noticed this red squirrel was using his network of tunnels to get out but still be near his "exit" plan At the very end of the video it's when it can be seen more clearly his tunnels. Unfortunately after I recorded him those ~10 seconds he never came out again. Red squirrel - Tunnels.mp4 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
