This Oak is planted. Please identify it to species before marking it as "captive." It has a bent tree tag on it.

There are a few organisms on it:

bisexual generation; Coast Live Oak

This skinny tree is growing on a hill in a grove of Coast Live Oaks.

The leaves on this one look different from the surrounding Oaks.

Photos 1-2, 4-10, and 12-14 were brightened.

I found this empty bivalve shell on the beach at night.

Initial ID based on iNaturalist's AI suggestion.

Scattered parrot feathers underneath a trio of Genus Amazona parrots perched in a Western Sycamore. I'll post the parrots separately later.

on Eriodictyon californicum

Some kind of growth on the underside of two branches of a Coast Live Oak tree.

I photographed it from the ground and from an adjacent wall, as this is about 10-15 feet off the ground.

This is an odd looking buckwheat. I think it's a Buckwheat based on the leaves. I'm not sure if it's "odd looking" to me because I've never seen a Buckwheat budding or for another reason.

Coast Live Oak

could this be a badger den?

I saved his life and STILL he won't marry me

Observed decomposing remains of a dead Rodent on the trail. Possibly a Botta’s Pocket Gopher.

This observation is for these coffee bean like seeds that were in some scat.

A water sample was taken from the bank of the Vuoksi River. The sample was stored at room temperature and observed nine days after collection.

This Spider was on a spiderweb spun between Prickly Pears.

There were many Silver Argiopes around, but this one looks like a different species.
