At school in the grass, I saw this worm that was moving all over the place. It was brownish pink with dirt all over it. It was very long. It let me move it with a stick so I could get a photo of it. It didn’t have a face and It didn’t look like it had legs. When it came out of the grass, it seemed to keep getting longer and longer.

Boat-tailed Grackle (Quiscalus major)Observer
jolie_bentleyDescription
When walking my dog, I saw this very small bird that flew around everywhere. This species of birds look like bats in the sky when they fly because you can’t really see their tail. There were a lot of them flying in the sky. This bird was all black all over but when I look at the photo, it kind of looks like there’s a blue shine on the birds back. It did fly away really fast so this was the best photo I could get, but I wasn’t super far from it either so this bird wasn’t as shy as others. It made noises but I wasn’t paying attention to the sound.

jolie_bentleyDescription
When I was taking a walk, I saw this Mourning Dove just sitting on my neighbors fountain. It was probably 7 inches tall so it wasn’t super big but not to small. It made a sad sound so I knew that this was a Mourning Dove. It didn’t have any white in its feathers but it had a creme color belly. Towards the end of its wings, it had black spots. It also had very black eyes, and a black nose. It also wasn’t super hard to take a picture of because it didn’t move around that much but I still didn’t want it to fly away so I kept my distance.

When I was walking outside, I was this bird that looked like a Great Blue Heron but it didn’t have a black head so I have no idea what it would be. It had a blueish- grey body with a grey neck and a black tipped mouth. It also looked to be the same size as a heron but maybe a little smaller. It moved pretty quickly but it didn’t move that much. It just walked in a strait line. It was very pretty.

I was sitting down, and I saw this Caterpillar moving around. It moved pretty fast I would say for a caterpillar. It was bright green with a very black head.

I wanted to eat a peach, so I grabbed one out of the fridge and good thing I was looking closely before eating this peach, because I saw a little piece of fungi. It was so tiny that it was smaller than the nail of my pinky. It was a green and yellow fuzz that just was on the crease of the peach. It seemed like the fungi was going to grow bigger because every single peach that I’ve seen that has fungi on it, the fungi seems to be 10x bigger on any other peach.

We saw this bird while taking a walk along my street. It was all black including the beak of it. It moved super fast so it was really hard to get a good picture of it. I noticed that only a few birds that look like this one fly at night and if they do, it’s individually. I say that because i only saw four of these types on birds and there were only one at a time.

It was very tiny, so I️ had to zoom in all the way, then zoom in more and take a screenshot of the previous photo. It looked like a simple mosquito but I️ never seen one so tiny so it might be something different.
