This was the first of eight small dark slugs found at various locations on Volcan Mountain Preserve. They were all under bark flakes and logs in mixed oak/conifer woodland in shady locations.

One of two call sequences recorded along Father Junipero Trail, east of the Old Dam. Recorded and auto-identified with Echo Meter Touch 2 Pro as Nyctinomops femorosaccus; identified via Sonobat 4.3 as Nyctinomops sp. (Sonobat does not currently distinguish between the two species of Nyctinomops found in California) This location is approximately 2 miles northeast of the known N. femorosaccus roost at Mission Trails.

With Chalon Boesel. We were on a search for a unknown snail in Campo reported by Miller years ago. I thought this was possibly an immature H. edwardsi, but when I got home and looked under the scope, it proved to be mature and had the incised lines of a traskii group snail. Perhaps this is H. traskii isidroensis? Or Miller's mystery snail? It doesn't look like a typical traskii.
Chalon will post more photos, and I will as well. This looks very much like https://www.inaturalist.org/observations/10407945, found near Portrero a few years ago, which generated much discussion.

Column of foragers alongside hiking trail in Baccharis, Eriogonum, Malosma shrubland habitat. Two larger workers were carrying Pheidole fallax grp minors. Multiple nearby colonies of a Pheidole fallax group species were evacuated with queen, workers, and brood clustered around their nests. No actual raiding was observed. Ants in the immediate area include Verromessor andrei, Solenopsis xyloni, Pheidole fallax group species, Pheidole navigans, Linepthina humile, and. Pogonomyrmex robustus.
Shiny head with smooth lateral pronotal face, and a straight premasticatory margin of the mandible lead to Neivamyrmex opacithorax.

Esquilo-Terrestre-de-Mohave (Xerospermophilus mohavensis)Observador
pkelly2021Descrição
Say Hello to 'Bubba.' This magnificent, adult, male Mohave ground squirrel (MGS; Xerospermophilus mohavensis) was captured and released near Coso Junction, California, on June 6, 2019. It was a bit late in the year to capture an adult MGS, especially one so obviously well fed, above ground. That is because this species not only hibernates through the winter months, but it estivates through the hottest months of the summer; they hibernate or estivate for ~7 months of the year. Sadly, because of the pandemic, I could not return to my field site in 2020 and it does not look very promising either for 2021.
