Say’s Phoebe: Saw this birb on a suburban bike path…
Saw this #birb on a suburban bike path today. Some kind of Phoebe, apparently https://www.inaturalist.org/observations/37541271
Red-Tailed Hawk (on transmission tower, early Jan.)
And this hawk(?) is definitely *not* a birb…but I saw it on the same bike path in the middle of the suburbs. It landed on a transmission tower and looked around for a few minutes before flying off. https://www.inaturalist.org/observations/37541270 #birds #nature

Hawkspotting on K2R
This solitary hawk(?) landed in the scaffolding of a transmission tower above a suburban bike path, and stayed there, looking around, while I walked closer to it. After a few minutes, it flew off to another tower.

Jade plant (flowers with varying numbers of petals)
It’s an outdoor houseplant, but I’m posting here because I noticed that the flowers don’t all have the same number of petals: some have 4, some have 5, and some have 6, all on the same plant. Is this typical for jade, or unusual?

Brown Pelicans Passing Each Other
This and another pelican swam past each other. One started flapping its wings as they approached, and then stopped once they’d passed each other.
