In 2021, USFS and volunteers built wetlands near Foresthill, California. After the 2022 Mosquito fire, no one knew if frogs would move in... Recently, 2 California red-legged frogs were observed living in the wetlands!
🤞 for signs of 🐸 reproduction: large egg masses!

The hognose snake gets its name from its upturned snout. This snake will act tough when feeling threatened, flattening its neck and hissing, similar to a cobra! They will not bite in self-defense but will sometimes play dead!

Ever wish you could turn off half your brain during your morning commute? That's what migrating Swainson's thrush do!
Half of their brain sleeps while flying! The other half remains alert for threats.
If only we could sleep "on the fly..."

Though it looks like this alligator might have bitten off a bit more than it can chew, they're opportunistic feeders willing to eat pretty much anything they can get their jaws around.

Greater prairie chickens are known for their elaborate mating displays. Males raise ear-like feathers above the head and inflate orange sacs on the sides of the throat while stutter-stepping around and making deep hooting sounds.

The Cahaba lily grows along the shores of the Cahaba River in Alabama.
Although they on bloom for only a short time in the spring (typically May & June), they leave a lasting impression on those lucky enough to see them.
