Laying in road. Couldn't tell if alive or dead.
Running through an intersection in a small town
Tiny little kangaroo rat-type thing bouncing across a mountain road at night. Didn't get a good look beyond that and the fact that it was brown, but this is the only hopping mouse species in range. (jumps were all very short and shallow, like a dropped ping pong ball just before it stops)

I guess these are caddisfly larva cases? They seem kind of square, though. They were pretty small, stuck on securely, and had no discernible openings. They were on boulders in the creek, both above and below the water line.

Small. When resting (didn't get a photo), held its legs bunched together and straight out, in a sort of T or X (I forget).
Lots and lots of these all along the roads up in here, though they mostly eluded my camera.
A good-sized group of immature quail with little crests under an oak tree. Not that the photo turned out at all.
