Blainville's Horned Lizard (Phrynosoma blainvillii)Observer
kuedaDescription
Horny toad on Mt. Diablo! I know this is almost identical to the shots I took at Carrizo, but I promise this is a different individual, one I found on Mt. D! I knew they were there, but man, so cool to actually see one there. And look at the color on this one! Amazing red horns, yellow belly scales, and all these cooler tones that come out in the shade. Quite amazing.

terryvanniekerkDescription
behaviour like a Vireo... but confusing... V end of tail ,very tin whitish wingbars, yellowish throat, belly white... no stripes on breast, photo looks yellow belly, but with binocs I did see only yellow throat.... Northern Parula female? but they don't have a V in tail, did not see white eyering , but somewhat white around eye. Had to zoom in, was high up in a tree, did perch for at least 5 min...almost getting darker, so prob time for sleep

Shrikes (Family Laniidae)Observer
colevonnDescription
Not an image of a shrike, but my guess is that this mantis was impaled on the ocotillo cactus by a shrike bird. Can’t think of another explanation for this. Any ideas?
