We watched a roadrunner stalk and kill a mourning dove. See subsequent photos. The roadrunner repeatedly thrashed the bird against the ground. The roadrunner walked off some distance after killing the dove. Great-tailed grackles kept a respectful distance and the roadrunner rushed at one or more when they approached the expired dove. We returned hours later and the carcass was still in place. If I hadn't seen this myself, I would have thought for sure a Cooper's Hawk was responsible and perhaps got scared off the carcass. @karakaxa @noahgaines @featherenthusiast
I saw the House Sparrow on the sidewalk by itself. I am not sure if the Roadrunner made the kill.

It turns out it's still the adult tree of P. tomentella 柔毛柳安, not S.johorensis.

I have too many moths to add here.But this one was exceptionally beautiful. ID from a moth expert . This one was sitting on my kitchen wall. After I took the photo she flew away and never revisited me.
Found by a neighbor early afternoon on Oct. 10, 2016, hanging out on an outside wall of an apartment building in (East) Oakland, CA 94605
My first encounter with this genus of family Mordellidae. It was hiding inside the fold of a dead Calathea leaf in a dense thicket of Calathea, Archidona, Napo, Ecuador, about 575 meters elevation.
Common tree-euphorbia - original photo was taken at Masai Mara National
Reserve, Kenya, in August 1992. A digital record was created in April 2022.

I have never seen a wider variety and more abundant population of anemones / anemonefish - than in the Philippines. The color combinations were often electric in color. Truly stunning.
Passeando pela praia hoje vimos essa criatura/peixe, que aparentemente antes de morrer estava tentando comer outro peixe. A questão é que não conseguimos identificar a espécie, ainda mais pelo tamanho e características da face que são bem peculiares.
Lembra um peixe espada mas não temos certeza pois ele tem características marcantes na face
Found floating on it's side in the shallows. Picked up by hand and then released after photos
