Unfortunately, some flowers are already through with the bloom.
A small jungle preserve, on a limestone substrate honeycombed with caves, grottoes and water-filled sinkholes (''blue holes'') that communicate with the sea, providing them with an unusual degree of marine life for their size.
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.
In breeding plumage they are singing non stop. Seem a little early, but with climate change...
Western Meadowlark (Sturnella neglecta)
Rogue Valley - Jackson County - Oregon - USA
Habitat : Grasslands
Food : Insects
Nesting : Ground
Behavior : Ground Forager
Conservation : Low Concern
"The buoyant, flutelike melody of the Western Meadowlark ringing out across a field can brighten anyone’s day. Meadowlarks are often more easily heard than seen, unless you spot a male singing from a fence post. This colorful member of the blackbird family flashes a vibrant yellow breast crossed by a distinctive, black, V-shaped band. Look and listen for these stout ground feeders in grasslands, meadows, pastures, and along marsh edges throughout the West and Midwest, where flocks strut and feed on seeds and insects... Like other members of the blackbird, or icterid, family, meadowlarks use a feeding behavior called “gaping,” which relies on the unusually strong muscles that open their bill. They insert their bill into the soil, bark or other substrate, then force it open to create a hole. This gives meadowlarks access to insects and other food items that most birds can’t reach."

Name this shroom so I don't spend all night getting it wrong
