Sunflower commented on by Leilah Pennsylvania, USA10 years ago

It looks like a sunflower - do you have bird feeders by any chance? =)

Spider Milkweed commented on by Leilah Texas, USA10 years ago

Can't help on the butterflies, but the plant looks like spider milkweed.

(Also, that grebe is _adorable_.)

Domestic duck commented on by Leilah Algarve, Portugal11 years ago

Definitely a domestic duck. We've got the occasional domestic hanging out with the local flocks here, it's really cute. =)

Maidenhair Ferns commented on by Leilah Telemark, Norway11 years ago

It's some kind of Adiantum species, but I can't figure out which one...

Keyhole Sand Dollar commented on by Leilah Malaysia11 years ago

Some sand dollars do have variation among the males and females, but I can't find any information on that for this particular species. Gorgeous find!

Unknown spotting commented on by Leilah Alajuela, Costa Rica11 years ago

It looks like something in the Phyllophaga - like the june bugs we have in Indiana... but I couldn't tell you what kind.

Goose barnacle commented on by Leilah California, USA11 years ago

I've seen a number of these on the opposite side of the lagoon from where you were, at Agate Beach in Bolinas. Beautiful little things.

Cackling Goose commented on by Leilah Richmond, British Columbia, Canada11 years ago

Thanks for the suggestion again, SavannahMarie, but as on the other photo, this is not a Canada goose. The picture of the Cackling goose alongside a Canada goose is intended to show how small it is and the different shape of the beak.
