Black-crowned Night Heron (Nycticorax nycticorax)Observer

These birds nest in trees around down Oakland, near snowy egrets. They like to roost on buildings after finding food in nearby Lake Merritt.
What
Western Blue-eyed Grass (Sisyrinchium bellum)Observer
pgbDescription
It's not a grass, it's a lily, and it doesn't have a "blue eye". It's one of our finest spring wildflowers!
What
Painted Lady (Vanessa cardui)Observer
pgbDescription
I think this is a painted lady, but I need some help here. I had other shots where it opened its wings more, but the shots were blurry.
What
Western Fence Lizard (Sceloporus occidentalis)Observer
pgbDescription
A well loved lizard in our region. If a Lyme's disease carrying tick bites one, a chemical in the lizard's blood kills the Lyme's disease.
