Snowy Egret

Native to North, Central, and South America.
The species was slaughtered for its plumes in the 19th century, but protection brought a rapid recovery of numbers, and the Snowy Egret is thriving.

Made some lemonade from my lemons. I never use them for it but this is a first. My boys (Adult Men) signed off on it including hubby. So I guess I did okay. Lol 🌱

Praying Mantis, identified as likely belonging to the species Prohierodula Picta or Empusa Pennata.

Found this love trying to climb our basketball hoop base. Wonder what happened to one of its limbs? I removed it and put it in our raised bed.

Scientific Question

Could the rat poison people are using cause rabid and mange issues? I hate seeing all these rat poison contrapments here. We are in the forest. Let the bigger predators do their jobs.
If that is the cause, can the state issue a law that does not allow the use of rat poison?

Visiting another Arboretum in California I had the blessing of meeting this female Mallard. It decided to accompany me once it saw me from its creek. Followed me for 1 hour everywhere I went and sat near me while I took landscape photos sitting on the bench.
