Oak Grove Loop Trail

I had to go on one more required class hike yesterday morning. The form was easy to fill out as we hiked around the Oak Grove Loop Trail at MTRP.

Here is the California Thrasher with its distinctive, curved bill. It's perched in a Laurel Sumac tree.

This Scrub Jay was unusually quiet at this time in the morning.

A Lepidopteran was just emerging from the grass. The wings are almost ready for flight.

This tiny spider was signalling us with its forelegs. Its movements reminded me of a Jumping Spider. It even signalled a biker as he passed by.
