No idea. It was hard to get good photos since it was the same color as the mud it keeps visiting.

Northern Cardinal (Cardinalis cardinalis)Observer
cheryl_rosenfeldDescription
Saw this morning and again tonight. My reading indicates that Northern Cardinals can molt all their head feathers at once but generally after the breeding season, around August. Not sure if it is unusual to see such molting at this time of year.

Woolly Alder Aphid (Prociphilus tessellatus)Observer
vabsauzDescription
Hymenoptra extremely attracted to white substance and plant buds.
I think the substance hymenoptera were attracted to was honeydew which would affirm my educated guess of prociphilus tessellatus. But definitely need a second opinion.

chert_hollowDescription
these feel like hard seed coats, presumably cached by a rodent (or less likely squirrel) in hollow cavity at base of a redbud
but what kind of seed? I am feeling stumped
did not intend that pun
