Mule Deer eating some dinner one evening in Lassen Volcanic National Park. If you are on a large enough screen or download the HD files you can see a little leaf in its mouth with a bunch of saliva.

This is a female Mallard that I was taking photos of during a Sunrise in Summer.

Some Mushrooms I won’t be able to identify. This is one of them. The photographs of the ones I’m not positive about will be saved as simply Mushroom with whatever number comes after in the sequence.

This is a juvenile California Quail that I saw fly onto a dead tree near me while I was watching its covey (flock). The tree was being taken over by a trailing Blackberry Bush and you can see the Blackberries in the photograph.

Banana Slugs are primarily found in moist forests of the Pacific Northwest including Northern California. There are actually three main species of Banana Slugs but I will call them all Banana Slugs here because I’m not an expert. I have fond memories of finding Banana Slugs as a child when on vacation in the Redwoods and I continue to enjoy encountering them today.

I unfortunately startled this Mule Deer after tripping on a rock. Fortunately it wasn’t bothered too much. Also, you can see a lot of tiny Flies hovering around it.

This photo was taken at the very early hours when the sun was just peaking over the horizon. This Blue Heron found a piece of debris to hunker down on in the middle of this lake and the sun was barely able to hit it. The background was in complete shadow which is why it’s so dark. The Blue Heron was a long distance away so this was the best I could get without a boat.
