sonoma county, ca.
Here’s a male visiting our bird bath a couple years ago. They like to nest in tall palm tree fronds around here, even though those trees are not native to this area.

Here are a couple of my best examples of S. hirsutum in our area. The first is a macro (with underside showing at top), and I just got that 2nd shot last week. I'd turned over that middle mushroom in the 2nd shot to show its topside, but the rest are undersides. Lovely fungus I think. :)

Two years ago we joined an Ocean Society tour to the Farallon Islands where Morris, a very special Northern Gannet happened to be that day.💚
Our tour's naturalist was Michael Pierson & there's a short film about him & Morris here...

@goodport.bsky.social - I thought you'd appreciate seeing this Raven making clicking sounds today. I was trying to record the other high-pitched single bird call then this beauty chimed in! (Still trying to ID the other bird, if anyone has some feedback.) 💚 #FeatheredFriday #Birds
