So orange! Could they be pear-shaped puffball (Apioperdon pyriforme)? I don't know about color variation with those.

First shrike I've ever seen! Perched in sugar maple at edge of clearing adjacent to spruce/birch/maple forests IDing as northern rather than loggerhead mostly based on range, but I do think the black eyeband here looks narrower than for loggerhead.

Larva netted from edge/bottom or rocky-bottomed creek (sawmill creek). Non-red midges larva? Moved with fast, squiggly squirming, moving almost constantly while I looked at them in the wooden spoon. Flip quickly through the pictures to get an idea of the movement!
Larva about 1 cm long.

Seed netted from fast-moving creek fattened by snowmelt. I think this is B. conata because the seed has 4 barbed awns (compared with 2 or 3 awns in other Bidens spp. according to minnesotawildflowers.info)

Netted from rocky bottom at edge of cool, swift creek (sawmill creek). Larva attached to the bottom of the wooden spoon and then moved around with an "inchworm" motion - flip quickly through the photos to see! Larva about 1 cm long.
