Mitred Parakeets:
I stopped to grab coffee and heard the parakeets squawking in the trees. These were the first two I spotted, and they stayed together like that for the whole time I was there.

Not what they usually mean by a public toilet.
The squirrel turned around and planted itself firmly, staring at me as if ready to defend its hoard.
I saw this squirrel running across the grass, then got my camera out and caught the first photo as it ran up the side of a tree and paused, looking at me as if assessing whether I was a threat or not. Then it ran the rest of the way up to look at a gap in the tree, perhaps assuring itself that its stash was still where it had left it. I walked around to see that there was a hollow between the two major branches, and the squirrel turned around and planted itself firmly, staring at me as if ready to defend its hoard.
My photos taken, I walked away.
Guardian of the Woods
I could just imagine the squirrel proclaiming, “Turn back, traveller, and do not cross the shadow of these woods! Turn back now, while you still can!”
Does anyone know whether the PlantsVsZombies sunflower was inspired by the Sunflora Pokemon?

Thanks!
iNat users suggest it’s an Allen’s Hummingbird.

OK, the guy with the camera probably doesn’t expect me to go *back* to the tree, so maybe I can make my escape… #squirrel

I spotted this Black Phoebe just as I spun a Team Rocket-occupied stop
We were out for the monthly #PokemonGo Community Day, and I spotted this #BlackPhoebe just as I spun a Team Rocket-occupied stop. Somehow I managed to get a decent photo of it while battling Team Rocket.
“I’m hoooooome!” “Hope you don’t mind, I brought my laundry with me.” #PokemonGo
Charmander swore the accident at the #PokemonGo picnic wasn’t his fault!
Some sort of moss or lichen on this tree in a city park.
A Gray Hairstreak butterfly
Not the one from the previous photo, but another one spotted on the same hike.
Interesting rolling shutter effect on this butterfly’s wings as they moved too fast for the camera’s sensor
Interesting #RollingShutter effect on this #butterfly’s wings as they moved too fast for the camera’s sensor. Probably a #GrayHairstreak.

A cabbage white butterfly. I hardly ever catch these holding still…
A cabbage white #butterfly. I hardly ever catch these holding still, and o thought I'd caught this one perched on the flowers, but it took off as I pressed the button. Fortunately my phone had already focused, and I got a better photo than I was expecting!
The Birds. (The guy in the vest was setting out food for the seagulls, so there were a lot of them hanging around.)
