Susan Gonzalez sent in this photo to see if she could get an identification. Ron LeValley identified it as a partially leucistic American Robin.
You can see it's not a true albino as its eyes are normal color. Still it is a very unusual bird.
Thanks to Susan for allowing me to share this photo with you here. To see two other partially leucistic birds, here's the link: http://www.mendonomasightings.com/2012/09/05/two-strangely-colored-jays/
These little frogs, usually colored green, show up in the strangest places. Susan Gonzalez photographed one on a wire structure over her pond. The wire protects her fish from Great Blue Herons and other critters after an easy meal. The Tree Frog looks a little precarious up on the wire.
Thanks to Susan for sharing her photo with us. To see a Tree Frog with an attitude, here's the link: http://www.mendonomasightings.com/2012/02/25/pacific-tree-frog-with-an-attitude-as-photographed-by-cathleen-crosby/
Susan Gonzalez was out with her camera and discovered a rock formation that looks like a stone Morel mushroom. Is Mother Nature playing a joke on us?
Thanks to Susan for allowing me to share her photo with you here.
This a Raven with an attitude. Tim Gonzalez and his wife, Susan, were visiting their friends, Peggy and Mike Mee, at The Sea Ranch. They noticed this big black bird staring at something in the meadow. There stood a Gray Fox, seemingly intimidated by the stern Raven.
You can just imagine what the Raven might say to the Fox. Thanks to Tim for allowing me to share his photo with you here.
