Observed on multiple, older R. canescens specimens growing on a slope next to gulleys on either side going into our pond. Some specimens were up to 15-20 feet tall. Some galls larger as they progressed into a white frosty texture. Seems to make a flat surface sometimes folding. Found on different specimens 50 feet from each other. Older forest some white oaks and other trees pushing 100 years old. Lots of sycamores, persimmons and tulip poplars nearby. Galls forming on both flower and leaves, with multiple galls forming on one leaf site.

Found on several leaves of Rhododendron sp (likely R. canescens). Maybe E. rhododendri or E. vaccinii (based on visual comparisons) but I’m REALLY unsure.

Very common on this species of Azalea. Almost every individual encountered at this site had some amount of galls.

Growing on native azalea. Squirrels were feeding enthusiastically on them.

Interesting growth on a plant. Normal growth, fungal, bacterial? I'm not sure.

Wet edge of golf course, mixed with Ludwigia octovalvis. Like octovalvis it has 4-petal yellow flowers with 8 stamens, lanceolate leaves, and elongated seed capsules, but the capsules are shorter than L octovalvis, and leaf petioles have decurrent wings down the stem.

Fungus on Vaccinium sp. on a forested trail.
From Page 44 of “Diseases of Trees and Shrubs - 2nd Edition” by Wayne A. Sinclair and Howard H. Lyon:
This inconsequential disease, which affects species of Gaylusaccia and Vaccinium, is caused by Ophiodothella vaccinii and characterized by distinctive colorful lesions...The pathogen occurs widely in southeastern USA and also in Illinois and California.

Lovely Limpkin sighting today out in Montgomery County. Quite tame and I was able to take these photos with my macro lens. It was all I had with me … did the best I could with what I had. Observed this delightful bird hunting mussels - finds one, beats it on the shoreline and then carries it back to the water and gives it a swoosh around … then it ends up in a neat little pile. There were numerous neat, little piles … photos showing mussel type added shortly.

Ai is suggesting Bloody Comma. I don’t know. Many of these mixed in with various scriptas and other crustose lichens on Yaupon Holly and in deep shade woodland setting.

Extremely small specimen tucked away partially under another (removed for photo) foliose lichen species. Growing on Oak sp. (I think) Large branch is windfall - Many other species of lichens and even tiny mosses growing alongside it.

Submission is for upper “left” lichen not lower right script lichen. I will re-photograph and submit … as it was raining and specimen was wet. I think this may well be the correct id though.

I've never seen or heard of a nearly all black kingfisher. Is it juvenile? A known variant? A different species?

RLC726 Photo 2 by Bitty Roy, the rest by Bryn Dentinger; used with permission. This fungus-killed wasp is biting the edge of a leaf and was basically at eye level on a leaf on the trail to the Los Cedros river, right after going out the gate from HQ.
