As a surveyor, my job often takes me to places where nature is in control. Taking the road less traveled usually makes all the difference.

Thanks for commenting, Mark. It was amazing how many different lichen species there was on the bark of this tree.

Your welcome ForestDragon. Very cool looking mushrooms.

Afzel's Script Lichen commented on by Brian38 Brownsville, Texas, United States3 years ago

Thanks for commenting, Leuba. This one can be hard to spot, especially when they are surrounded by flashier lichens or bryophytes. Fortunately, this particular tree was not far off a trail in a semi-open area, where it was somewhat exposed.

Thanks, Jae. They seem to be working as a team where everyone knows their part. I wish I had found it sooner to see how they got the bee.

Spotting commented on by Brian38 Bellevue, Washington, United States3 years ago

Hi, steffjfowler and welcome to Project Noah. Great first spotting. I sent you a suggestion and if you agree with it you can use it to fill in your fields. The three males in the center show all the markings for the American wigeon. They are not yet in full breeding plumage so the sides of their heads aren't bright green just yet.
