wenatcheebDescription
Megachile cutting petals for her nest. She carried them down to the stems in the brush and seemed to be shoving them into a cracked stem at the base of the flowers. There is that Silver-tailed Petal-cutting bee, maybe she is one of those?

Photo taken by Emily Kim. The birds are mostly Brandt's Cormorants. We're interested in what appears to be a shark "breaching" on the right side of the photo. Do you think this is a shark? Is so, can you ID to species?

Barn Owl (Tyto alba)Observer
cammieDescription
I saw what I thought was one of the deer-stand-type lookout towers throughout the park. It was not that. Turned out to be a stand for an owl nest box. Realized this when an owl flew out. Went to take a picture of the nest box, and happened to get a photo of a second owl instead! I feel bad that I disturbed them during the day and will avoid the stand in the future, but I was definitely thrilled to get a photo of my favorite bird! (Location marked is the park, not the exact coordinates.)
