Some sort of leaf cutting bee. It is interesting how it carries the leaf while in flight.

Excuse me but what on the good green Earth is this weird goop?!? Is the smaller, wetter one a young version of the larger, more gelatinous one?
Nature should really come with little curated ID cards with species info/fun facts.

Eagle was sitting in pine by lakeshore for some time, and eventually nearby Herring Gulls began harassing it for several minutes. The eagle held its place and the gulls moved on.

for these seeds - I was taking a photo of some moss and these seeds were laying on top of it. I'm just curious about the seeds.

Rusty-patched Bumble Bee (Bombus affinis)Observer
madlandDescription
On anise hyssop, quite large. Reddish patch on abdomen, it might be too hopeful to say it’s a rusty patch but the red patch looks right.
