Swamp Eels (Family Synbranchidae)Observer
pinemartynDescription
Three or four eels in the shallow murky water. The one on shore looked like it had only recently died. The ones in the water kept poking their heads above the surface like a periscope to look around. Very Slippery and approx 2 feet long.

Does anyone know why is one of his antlers hanging down? Is it an illness or an injury?

Blood Bees (Genus Sphecodes)Observer
darlingtonppDescription
A mating pair of Blood Bees along the path below the Viewing Platform in the area of the Digger Bee colony (Melissodes). Note the male's left front wing appears open on the blade of grass. Both of the female's wings are open and held upright. Male appears very hairy.
While the end of the abdomen is not clearly visible in either the female or the male, by range maps on iNaturalist, I think this likely either Buttercup Blood Bee (Sphecodes ranunculi) or more probably Davis's Cuckoo Sweat Bee (Sphecodes davisii), because the cuckoo bee, S. davisii, may be laying eggs in the pollen stores of Melissodes? All the other iNat suggestions are European, except for the Cyclops Blood Bee (Sphecodes heraclei), which has a red pronotum.

Ah, the mysterious and elusive 3-toed deer. Some say it can often be heard making its haunting call early on foggy summer mornings.

toddnorrisDescription
This photo is a digital copy of an old slide so the date of this photo is inaccurate. The bird hung around this area for a few weeks and through much of January 1977. It was quite tame and had the accipiter like flight characteristics of rapid wing beat.
