@sohkamyung Wow! That's the coolest moth I've ever seen!

@mlevel Merlin does ID by asking questions about color, location, size, etc. Photo not necessary.

@mlevel I use an app called Merlin to help with ID. Its pretty good.

@mlevel Looks more like one of the flycatchers. Maybe a Great-crested Flycatcher? Not sure which species are out west.

@RAPIDPUNCHES Nice! When I first got mine, I watched a bunch of videos that showed what all the different features and how to use them. Was easier than reading the manual.

Its cottonwood season, and there was a ton of cotton fuzz balls everywhere. A came across one especially fuzzy tree, and took a selfie to show the scale of the fuzz.

I think these are mushrooms, but I'm not certain. I've never seen anything quite like them. There were probably around 30 to 50 stalks in the area.

@Rural_Canadian I've always wanted to see one in person and watch their goofy walk.

@Rural_Canadian Adorable! I believe those are American Woodcocks: https://www.allaboutbirds.org/guide/American_Woodcock/id

I got up super early to walk with my Mom, so it was still chilly and this robin was fluffed up to keep warm.

A few neighborhoods in town are covered in these, but most places have none.

I went camping withy brother last weekend. The campground had a hiking trail, and a section of it was called "pine corridor". I can see why.

No vaccine, no hugs

Out of 173 photos I took this morning, I ended up with 21 keepers. #photography
