Flock of about 40, munching fruit like there's no tomorrow.

Pair bonding with what appeared to be tree buds.

Flock of about 30 seen

My first sighting of the year! There were four!

There was a pod of Northern Bottlenose Whales in Garelochhead for a few weeks, unfortunately none of the pod survived.

Powerline area at rum River. I also saw a black and gold, but didn't get a picture.

This containment pond area in a Roseville business park was filled with auricomus visiting Monarda - easily over 20. This was the largest one of them.

There were at least three, maybe four.

On cultivated Quercus stellata

There have been a lot of glossy ibis this year. Earlier in February, my mother counted 14 and another day 21 in this pond.

I was standing at the shore and it flew in from the other side of the lake, landing almost next to me! There is a nesting pair.

I counted 25, but couldn't fit them all in the picture.

These were abundant in the area.

This observation is for the orange fungus. The fruiting structures were very dry when I took the photo.. The spores are from a tape mount. I measured one spore at about 15 µm long by 5 µm wide.

Possibly one of the same individuals seen on Saturday. They are so uncommon here, I want to photograph every observation.
