More nature to help with the cabin fever

Last time was landscapes, this time is critters. Enjoy seeing some cute things I've photographed while in that strange place called the outside that we all used to be able to visit.

-Hummingbird feeding from Ocatillo (Fouquieria splendens)

- American Pika (Ochotona princeps) in talus

- Western tiger swallowtail butterflies (Papilio rutulus) drinking by a creek

-Pacific rattlesnake (Crotalus oreganus) waiting in ambush

-Black toad (Anaxyrus exsul), a rare species found in a single valley in California.

-Small, native bees pollinating a desert candle (Caulanthus inflatus).

-Pacific tree frog (Pseudacris regilla) in a creek

-Red winged blackbird (Agelaius phoeniceus) singing on a fence

Stay safe and healthy all. Until next time.
