Observed a small bird in the brush alongside the trail I was on. It had a black color, brownish underbelly, orange beak, and and seemed to be foraging for something. Not sure if a carnivore or herbivore.
What
Vertebrates (Subphylum Vertebrata)Observer
germangiantDescription
Was strolling along the Fire Trail, when I noticed a small trail leading to the right. Upon following it through a weed-filled field, I noticed a medium-amount of scat. There were nuts/shells that were noticeable inside of the sample. The color of the feces was dark brown. My guess: a herbivore or carnivore of moderate size.
What
Western Hardwood Sulphur Shelf (Laetiporus gilbertsonii)Observer
germangiantDescription
Was walking along on the Fire Trail, when I came upon an (in my opinion) odd-looking fungi. It was approximately 0.25 meters long and at points, 0.13 meters wide. Had a white hue in the center of the structure, which slowly transitioned into yellow hue. This was one of two such fungi that I found on the hike. The 2nd specimen was found slightly damaged. Unsure if the cause of it's disheveled shape was because of wildlife or passer-biers.
