The spectacularly bizarre Andean Cock-of-the-rock is perhaps the most popularly recognized bird of the cloud forests of the Andes Mountains.
Distributed from Venezuela to Bolivia in the Andes, this species is readily identified by its fan-shaped crest and brilliant orange plumage. Males spend much of their time displaying at leks, where they jump up and down on particular branches and utter low, guttural croaks. The name is derived from their preference for rocks and ledges as substrates for their mud cup nests.

You often get these roosting together but when they're feeding they occupy different niches with the Ringed Plovers happy on a sandy substrate picking up annelids and small snails. Turnstones forage mostly on seaweed covered rocks, shingle and stony beaches

Several years ago, I discovered a bizarre and fascinating species of tadpole on my North Carolina property.
While most tadpoles grow to half an inch and then transform into tiny frogs within several months, these mysterious creatures grow to several inches in length over a period of three years, hibernating during winter beneath the substrate of their aquatic habitat.
But size isn’t the strangest quality of these other-worldly beings. Many develop facial characteristics similar to humans, including what appears to be a beard, though obviously not comprised of hair. Every face is totally unique.
The tadpole in this photo is over four inches long and the largest I ever observed. This summer it will probably morph into what’s called an “American bullfrog” and absent misfortune, live for nearly a decade.

Presented here is a tranquil image of a waxwing, compared to the chaotic scene I posted yesterday. This was one of hundreds, if not thousands of waxwings that were feeding on a berry tree in a neighborhood lawn. They would routinely pause to drink from puddles accumulate in the curb. To capture this image I was laying flat in the road (it was a very quite neighborhood street and Carolina was on the lookout). Luckily some leaves had accumulated in the curb, and shooting from this low angle otherwise concealed most evidence of the unnatural substrate.

Name this shroom so I don't spend all night getting it wrong
Started as a white egg in a cup and burst overnight to this. There doesn't seem to be a veil and the substrate I believe is Maple
Adults inhabit lagoon and coastal areas. Found in sandy or silty areas around outcrops of rubble on sand, mud, sponge or rocks. Occur singly or in small groups. Young often with anemones for protection. Oviparous, distinct pairing during breeding. Abandoned shells and waste bottles serve as nests. Eggs are demersal and adhere to the substrate. Males guard and aerate the eggs (Fishbase) Lembeh Strait, North Sulawesi, Indonesia.
Aster amellus (Asteraceae) 257 22
Aster amellus, is a perennial herbaceous plant in the genus Aster of the family Asteraceae.
It reaches on average a height of 20–50 centimeter. The stem is erect and branched, the leaves are dark green. The flowers are lilac. The flowering period extends from July through October.
This plant is present on the European mountains from the Pyrenees and the Alps to the Carpathians. Outside Europe it is located in western Asia (Turkey), the Caucasus, Siberia, South and Central Asia.
Its typical habitat is rocky limy areas, the edges of the bushes and copses, but also the sub-alpine meadows, marshy places and lake sides. It prefers calcareous and slightly dry substrate with basic pH and low nutritional value, at an altitude of 0–800 meters above sea level.
