A wonderful happy birthday to you, Jasmine - you are a warrior and an inspiration for all!

This looks like a “Trametes Versicolor”. You can look it up to verify as I can’t tell for sure due to photo quality. If so, it has been extensively studied and shown to have anti-cancer properties.

Yes, that Josiah. Good birding to you!

Looks like it was a nice day after all! My neighbor and good friend Josiah participated in the PR birdcount. Perhaps you know him?

Great capture. I’ve never seen such heron mayhem!

Amazing capture!

Congrats!

You've done some really beautiful works!

Nice! They're fairly vocal, no? Yes, I should have included Oregon and no doubt Washington. I lived in Brookings for a pretty good spell..Nice country up your way!

From 10 ft away, this Red-shouldered Hawk sat for 20 minutes while posing for a portrait. Widespread, I've found them on the coast of California through north and central Mexico.

While some stick around for winter, most Northern Flickers from British Columbia and the Pacific Northwest migrate to central California and Baja California, Mexico. Migrants are welcome!
