Hoffmann's Woodpecker commented on by The Well-read Naturalist Guanajuato, Mexico11 years ago

I can't see the field marks in the photos that I need to see for a positive identification clearly enough. It's either Hoffmann's Woodpecker or Golden-fronted Woodpecker. Does it have a white rump patch?

Regal horned lizard commented on by The Well-read Naturalist Oro Valley, Arizona, USA11 years ago

It's of the Genus Phrynosoma, but I'm not sure of the species.

Black-crowned Night Heron commented on by The Well-read Naturalist 深圳市 (Shēnzhèn), 广东省 (Guangdong), Paracel Islands11 years ago

I entirely agree with Arun - it's a Black-crowned Night Heron.

Unknown spotting commented on by The Well-read Naturalist West Lafayette, Indiana, USA11 years ago

Looks like a wasp to me but I'm at a bit of a loss as to the genus and species.
