This was a fairly young one but really friendly. Born during one of the lockdowns so not really used to visitors but followed us up and down the fence and also pecked at the camera lens hoods where he left his slobber marks lol

The last mushrooms (I think) collected this year, this time only honey fungus :)
Honey fungus (Armillaria mellea), is a basidiomycete fungus in the genus Armillaria. It is a plant pathogen and part of a cryptic species complex of closely related and morphologically similar species. It causes Armillaria root rot in many plant species and produces mushrooms around the base of trees it has infected. Armillaria mellea is widely distributed in temperate regions of the Northern Hemisphere. The fruit body or mushroom grows typically on hardwoods but may be found around and on other living and dead wood or in open areas. Armillaria mellea mushroom are considered good edibles, although some individuals have reported "allergic" reactions that result in stomach upsets. The mushrooms have a taste that has been described as slightly sweet and nutty, with a texture ranging from chewy to crunchy, depending on the method of preparation. Can also be pickled and roasted.

Ostatnie już (chyba) grzybki zebrane w tym roku, tym razem same opieńki :)
Opieńka miodowa (Armillaria mellea) – gatunek grzybów z rodziny obrzękowcowatych. Występuje na wszystkich kontynentach z wyjątkiem Antarktydy i Ameryki Południowej. W Europie Środkowej jest pospolita, w Polsce również. Pojawia się najczęściej jesienią od września do listopada, ale czasami może pojawić się nawet na początku sierpnia. Zwykle występuje gromadnie, czasami bardzo licznie. Rośnie na drewnie (pnie, pniaki, gałęzie, korzenie) różnych gatunków drzew liściastych w lasach, ogrodach, parkach i sadach. Opieńka jest pasożytem atakującym zarówno martwe, jak i żywe drzewa. Wywołuje u zaatakowanych drzew chorobę o nazwie opieńkowa zgnilizna korzeni prowadzącą do obumarcia drzewa i powodującą białą zgniliznę drewna. Opieńki są grzybami jadalnymi. Są smaczne, twarde, o łykowatym, mniej wykorzystywanym do konsumpcji trzonie. Do spożycia używa się najczęściej młodych kapeluszy. W stanie surowym lub niedogotowanym opieńka miodowa może być trująca. Dlatego też należy ją najpierw obgotować przez około 5 minut i odlać wywar, po czym dopiero poddaje się ją dalszej obróbce.
Since I had a fixed lens, I had to back up. Every time I backed up this little guy followed me. Not what I expected.

Waves crash along the shore of Friendly Beaches in Freycinet National Park, Tasmania Australia. Friendly Beaches are important nesting areas for shorebirds like pied oystercatchers, hooded plovers, red-capped plovers, fairy terns, and little terns. From October to March, the park asks visitors to, “walk as close to the waterline as possible to avoid beach-nesting shorebirds.”
Out and about one day not far from home, yet in the higher elevations, we heard a distinct call "tschick-adee" repeatedly. About the same time, we saw some flighty movement getting closer and closer to us. Eventually, we encountered the quite adorable juniper titmouse. Interestingly, this titmouse species was differentiated from the Plain titmouse (into Juniper and Oak) reflecting their distict habitat where they reside. Though I had never seen one before (that I'm aware of), I just knew what it was by its cute crest on its head. It was quite curious about us and posed for some time for me. :-)
While I've been a bit envious of my friends still living in FL with their images recently being shared of SHC colt babies, roseate spoonbills, and easier access burrowing owls, I have to remind myself of species like this that call Colorado home. So darned cute as far as I'm concerned.
Thanks for stopping by to view. Happy weekend to all.
