Wombat Vombatus ursinus, Maria Island, Tasmania, April 2015. A lucky shot - I was actually photographing Cape Barren geese at the time, sheltering behind a log and facing the other way, as these wombats emerged from their burrow for an evening stroll and graze. In any case, wombats don't have great eyesight, so as long as I didn't make any rapid movements, they seemed unable to discern me from the log.

hunting from nearby tree, about 10:30am, looking intently down at snow, then landed and mantled for a couple of minutes, burying its head into the snow several times before flying off in the opposite direction

a swarm of hundreds of individuals was seen crossing a forest trail; the morphology and swarming behavior agrees with Z. neptunus (see Wesener and Schutte 2010, https://www.ajol.info/index.php/mcd/article/view/63137)

This adult female Humpback Whale is named Shred due to her heavily mangled tail. She was first sighted in 1991 and has been seen as far south as Panama. She was part of a feeding mob along with several other whales and this large pack of California Sea Lions.

A small live Porpita porpita was found near Packery Channel, Padre Island. The diameter of the round float was about 12 mm, about half of the maximum diameter.

Porpita porpita is a condrophore, a colony of organisms in the phylum Cnidaria. It drifts on the surface of the sea. A close relative is Velella velella, which also has a disc with a sail. Physalia physalis is also colonial, but belongs to a different order, Siphonophorae.

The specimen was placed in a container for photos. The second photo shows the underside of the disc. All photos were taken with a cell phone (Samsung Galaxy S7 with a macro lens).

Several beached and mostly dried specimens of Blue Button were also observed. Also observed were some purple snails, Janthina globosa:

Experts - What is going on here? This male American Kestrel sure did seem to have the hots for this female Merlin. He kept trying to get close to her and even brought her a few treats (insects?) from the grass beneath the fence. She accepted the treats but didn't seem thrilled with the attention. However, when he flew off, she followed him...

El picaflor de garganta negra es una especie de ave apodiforme perteneciente al género Anthracothorax que integra la familia Trochilidae comúnmente denominados colibríes. Muy común en Sudamérica.

Su pico largo y negro es ligeramente curvo. La cola para ambos sexos es de color vinácea con plumas verde azuladas en el área central y puntas negras; en la hembra el extremo de las puntas es blanco. El macho es verde metálico vivo por arriba, por abajo una faja negra que va de la barbilla al centro del abdomen, bordeada de azul brillante en la garganta y pecho, flancos verdes. A contraluz o con mala iluminación parece todo negro. La hembra es igual al macho por arriba y por abajo es blanca con una faja mediana negra de la barbilla al abdomen.

Los que todavía no han madurado, muestran unos puntos grises en su cabeza y alas; alrededor de sus ojos, un tono chocolate.
