augustjacksonDescripción
Emerging on the coldest day of the year. Certainly the first time this has been photographed.
Seperation of D. eldoradensis and D. mellifica still needs some work, especially in the Northwest, but I believe this to be the former species based on gall size and morphology.

Near another Green Heron. All white plumage visible before it took cover in these reeds. Leucistic bird maybe?

Very cool to see this weevil boring into a sawfly gall (Euura) on an Arroyo Willow (Salix lasiolepis). Not sure if it was just feeding or also preparing to lay eggs per information here

oliviarosalineDescripción
It's hanging out with house sparrows and brown headed cowbirds. It has red eyes, a pink beak, and pink legs in person. I believe it is a true albino.
*Photos taken by my relative Gregory Myers and posted with permission.
Its exact location is obscured to keep it safe from anyone trying to go catch it or something because you never know what some people might do, unfortunately. It is in Arnold, Missouri though.
