This wise appearing Barred Owl has lost an eye somewhere along the way. He seem at home on the aged mossy oak branch in the thick woods.
Back Off !
This possessive grackle has found a rare winter treat, and guards his precious grasshopper in the bare limbed winter forest. He makes eye contact and seems to say "BACK OFF, its my lunch"

Redwood Sorrel
This beautiful clover is bright green on top, and a beautiful maple red on the underside of the leaf.
Note the grasshopper in midair about to be gulped down.
