There's a good story to this coyote.

Mom and the surviving chick.

At end of causeway

20mm long

Found it inside an old tire.

Blue Slug

Snail

Entoloma hochstetteri

I was amazed by the camouflage to look like the end of a broken stick. When I first saw it land from a distance, I had a hard time finding it upon closer examination of the area.

Note: the poor thing has a gorse or nettle thorn stuck squarely between its eyes (shot 4).

found on ground at omahu bush. seemed to have a shell starting to grow...?
