Recently dead - Perhaps I disturbed a fox, though reason for demise is not obvious.
By the next morning all three were found dead; killed by a local stray cat.
Looks like a cat kill. Was left by front door. Black cat nearby. Resident (not owner of cat) says regularly finds “gifts” left by cat

A green chiton attached to a half crab. We observed this alien looking commensal beast while undertaking an intertidal survey on the reefs off Hawera. It made us jump when we first turned over the rock.
We watched a roadrunner stalk and kill a mourning dove. See subsequent photos. The roadrunner repeatedly thrashed the bird against the ground. The roadrunner walked off some distance after killing the dove. Great-tailed grackles kept a respectful distance and the roadrunner rushed at one or more when they approached the expired dove. We returned hours later and the carcass was still in place. If I hadn't seen this myself, I would have thought for sure a Cooper's Hawk was responsible and perhaps got scared off the carcass. @karakaxa @noahgaines @featherenthusiast
Recorded during a documentary filming session
this picture holds a lot of memories.... :)
I saw the House Sparrow on the sidewalk by itself. I am not sure if the Roadrunner made the kill.
Fishing is hard work.

I have too many moths to add here.But this one was exceptionally beautiful. ID from a moth expert . This one was sitting on my kitchen wall. After I took the photo she flew away and never revisited me.
Found by a neighbor early afternoon on Oct. 10, 2016, hanging out on an outside wall of an apartment building in (East) Oakland, CA 94605
Chipmunk looking at the ladybug.
My first encounter with this genus of family Mordellidae. It was hiding inside the fold of a dead Calathea leaf in a dense thicket of Calathea, Archidona, Napo, Ecuador, about 575 meters elevation.
Found in potter wasp nesting tube.
Laying eggs into stump. The pink protrusions are waxy filaments.
