One of a few of the spotted towhees that I saw this morning. I believe the towhee is eating a coffee berry in two of the photos.

I observed two of these Chipmunks together, but was only able to photograph one of them. I was surprised to see them at this location as I have been visiting Eaton Canyon Natural area for years and have never seen them here before.

Perhaps my favorite observation ever. I wasn’t even looking for snakes when I heard something rustling in the bushes. I went to investigate and was pleasantly surprised to see a kingsnake. I was about to grab it but I quickly realized it had just grabbed a rattlesnake by the head which was what made that rustling noise. I watched the entire event from beginning to end which took about an hour. I have video of it too for anyone interested

This juvenile specimen was found in the pictured position in broad daylight. Occasionally it would twitch, but otherwise did not move.
Presently my suspicion was confirmed when a very large Pepsis flew over and started inspecting it (shown in third photo). Suddenly, it flew off, and did not come back.
A few minutes later, another tarantula hawk, this one smaller (shown in picture four), came scuttling through the grass behind the tarantula, and, to make a long story short, started dragging it off in the direction it had come.
Temperature was in the mid 70s°F. The day was overcast.
Thanks,

See this observation for the story of this specimen: https://www.inaturalist.org/observations/128505363
This specimen did not fly while I was observing it, even when it came back from its ostensible burrow to collect its quarry.
It seemed to drag the tarantula by its fangs.
Temperature was in the mid 70s°F. The day was overcast.
Thanks,

Based on by googling this type of small white plant I would want to say it's a licorice plant because of the light greenish-white color it is. This plant I found around the Eaton Canyon small garden.
