Colonial form. The solitary morphs have the crazy black "tails."

I had a fun time with several singing Seaside Sparrows early this morning. These birds were singing within 10-12 feet of my truck window. Some shots were taken before the sun was up, other shots taken in the early morning sunshine.

Collected 13 of these suckers. Their eggs must have hatched in the rain this week.

Who made this lovely shell that's now home to a hermit crab? Is it a tiny jeweled top snail shell?

End with my Lifer today. Stayed at @dpom 's in El Granada, CA. Early departure for walk with a stop to see this rare resident. Donna said she's seen this in the county in the past but never in such numbers. Pretty bird.

@tiwane was on a roll! Saw this incredibly elusive species that touches just briefly into our state from the North. He found a tiny baby and a magnificent adult.

- Ended the day on this species I usually only see in Arizona or Texas. Had rain on drive down which I was grateful for - cleaned the rent-a-car of all the off-roading. A fantastic trip.

I made a crazy decision and took the Rent-a-car out what I thought would connect me to a road Ken Davenport had taken me years back to collect Weidemeyers. Two incredibly packed rabbitbush. I prayed my way towards Mono Lake off-roading with a non-off-roading vehicle...

I'd seen this species years back in San Francisco behind the Legion of Honor. A noisy, gregarious flock. This seemed to be just a few above my head. Tough to photograph between the needles of the pine, close enough to watch that powerful beak shred the pine cones...

Save the Best for Last today - @sea-kangaroo and myself guided into Kameamea Lady habitat by folks working on the genetics of this elusive butterfly. Only one of two endemics to the Islands. Will put out mashed banana bait to lure them in. Warm sun turned to torrential rains. Didn't see the Vanessa, BUT saw the other endemic. The Greenish Bluet or Blackburn's Blue. A blue butterfly that is green. Read about this creature for decades. Insane thrill to finally see it. This is the only shot I managed to take of it. It'll do. :)

I had not posted this particular record from May, 2008, so I'll post it now since it documents a Golden-cheeked Warbler eating a female Argia genus damselfly. It may be an Argia fumipennis, but the shots are a little difficult to ID the bug. The bird appears to be a 2nd year male, judging from the green in parts of the back, but @gcwarbler will correct my age assessment if I am incorrect.
