Possibly a hybrid between Calochortus tolmiei and Calochortus uniflorus; not hairy enough for the former, and not pink enough for the latter.

Lane County OR, the farthest north known site of this species by about 70 miles. Collected in 1934, again in 1969 and 1982. Population previously presumed extinct, currently appears to be stable. This population had not been recorded in 41 years. Growing in rocky, south facing open habitat near Jasper, Oregon. @eralverson @brucen @jamesgrasstoucher @frondsinhighplaces @tanyaharvey

In the woods: on the W/SW slope/toe-slope of Walker Mountain. Twigs tomentose, leaf petiole less than 5mm, leaves convex, puberulent, short-hairy abaxially, margin wavy, inrolled, toothed (from Jepson). Does not key from Flora of Oregon, as it isn't Q chrysolepis or vaccinifolia. It reminded of oaks I saw in Lake/Colusa County, CA, so I grabbed a sample. In an area with a 'unique' flora.

Low spot in the dunes, probably a freshwater pond in the winter but dried out by mid or late summer.

Heard 2 owls singing back and forth (audio #1). Later heard one chittering (audio #2), then observed 2 owls mating. One left and one entered a hole in the tree (images #1-3), then resumed the song.

It lumbered across the road right in front of my car and then watched me from nearby just long enough for me to get a picture.

I think this is var. compositum because of the angled junction of the side and outer pinna margins, but the plants are so small that it is difficult to say with certainty. Elevation about 5000 ft.

Saw this on the Latourel Falls trail. I'm not sure if they are the same weasel, but I assume they were at least of the same family since they came out of the same burrow.

The otter was fighting this huge fish underwater for several minutes. Eventually it dragged the still-thrashing fish onto a small island and disappeared behind some vegetation.
This observation is for the mammal. For the fish, see: https://www.inaturalist.org/observations/103728272

I've not been back to the site so I don't know whether it is still extant. The habitat is still intact but deer browsing may be an issue.
