Middle bird - This bird had me stumped, not sure if it's an odd looking Short-billed Gull with a black bill or a Ring-billed Gull with a damaged or aberrant bill. May just be a random oddity and have to stay at Genus. @samfellows566 @david99 @psweet @thegreatseagulllover @mako252 @fogartyf @jsulzmann
Some sort of Garter Snake (Wandering?)
It was seen at the junction of the boardwalks near Thumb Paint Pots. I'd estimate the length to be about 2 feet long.
This was quite large and pale- I'd say over 4 inches snout to vent
California Mantis was iNat's top species suggestion. Can anyone confirm or suggest a better alternative?
