I met a friend up in our local mountains at Big Bear Lake. Big Bear is known to be a wintering haven for Bald Eagles because the lake does not freeze completely over so they have a winter food source. So I thought I'd give it a go. It was actually raining but we circled the lake anyway and saw an adult and this immature. Just thrilled me to pieces. I'd never seen an immature, and really have only seen adults on several trips to Yellowstone.
One of the best examples of shaggy inkcap (aka lawyer's wig) - Coprinus comatus - I have ever found. There were about 12 fruting bodies in the one small area. I usually manage to find them in inaccessible places or just as they are running to ink in decomposition.
