Species Interactions

I spotted a bird hovering near a flower and reaching into the flower with its thin, long beak. It was hovering near the flower for a while. I wasn't able to snap a picture of it in action however, so a picture of the bird sitting on the branch (facing the flower) had to suffice. I assumed it was a hummingbird as it appeared to be eating the flower's nectar plus it had such a thin long beak. It is a bit larger than what I expected hummingbirds to be though, so I'm not too sure if it is truly a hummingbird/was eating the flower's nectar. Since spring is coming and flowers are blooming, sightings of hummingbirds eating from flowers will probably be more common.

I found a honey bee pollinating a bright purple flower. It was hovering around the flower and from time to time, would fly in among the stigma/pistil of the flower and collecting nectar. I managed to get this shot during one of the moments when it flew into the flower and stayed there for a brief moment. Since spring is coming, most of the flowering plants are blooming and pollination is probably picking up pace.

I saw a fox squirrel eating an acorn while perched atop a rock. It was nibbling at the acorn in quick, deft movements, and seemed rather intent/focused on it. I thought it was rather human-like the way it held the acorn between its two front paws to eat. It probably obtained the acorn from one of the oaks around the area.
