Red-shouldered Hawk (Buteo lineatus).

RX10_41599, RX10_41602. Flowering.

Likely several days old. Size, lack of claw marks and asymmetry of toes support mountain lion. Abundant mule deer tracks in area.

Preuss' milkvetch (Astragalus preussii) is a purple-flowered locoweed that only grows on selenium soil which it accumulates in its leaves.

Along the indicated section of Mormon Well Road. There's a slight possibility it may have been elsewhere along Mormon Well Road.

I saw an interesting gall on a Senegalia greggii bush!

Progression over two days, from volva to cap. True to its name it smelt very stinky.

Blue Diamond Cholla. Better photographs to follow to include flowers.
