Wasn’t it absolutely gorgeous out today! Did you get to enjoy it? Jeanne and I certainly did. Yep, we were back at the grasslands!
And we headed straight for the ravines! The trees are just beautiful.
At the base of a tree, split-gilled mushrooms. The front center looked like a tongue to me. LOL
No caterpillars munching on the gills.
Certainly would be fun to witness the water running down. The recent rain did leave a puddle. Yeah!
This vireo nest was latched tightly on the cedar twigs. The building contractor (the birds) used all of their favorite materials; grasses, mosses, spider webs, and lichens! White-eyed Vireo parents participate from start to finish in all aspects of rearing the young.
The nestlings would have been very cozy in this neat home!
First set of ribs!
More ribs!
This part of the ravine had several sets of the remains of critters. So we called it bone alley! More tomorrow.
Oh I just love those ledges and drop offs in the grassland’s ravines. That is so gorgeous. I just want to go there and sit and admire. We have one tiny version in our creek, but nothing like this.
The article on the condors is encouraging. Thanks
The cold front arrived late this afternoon here! But was very nice but windy before.
Cold got here about 9pm on Tuesday
It was a gorgeous day today! Any speculation about what animals those bones belonged to?
And we really hope to spot condors at Pinnacles National Park on our trip to California next spring. Fingers crossed!
🤞🏼 for you. We got to see them at the Grand Canyon 15-20 years ago. Magnificent!
We thought one might have been a raccoon from some skin and fur.

I wish you could have been there.
