多摩市生きもの調査隊の皆様
まだまだ残暑が厳しいですがセミも大分おとなしくなり、秋っぽくなってきました。
さて、秋の訪れを感じる自然の一つに、「モズの高鳴き」があります。
普通、鳥は繁殖期の春から夏にかけて、オスがメスを呼ぶために、またはなわばりを宣言するためにさえずります。
モズは、逆に子育てが終わって秋になると、オスもメスも別々のなわばりを構え、そのなわばりを宣言するために、そのためオスもメスも両方、秋にさえずります。
それが、特別に高鳴きと呼ばれています。
アンテナの上など高いところに止まって、けたたましく「ギュンギュンキーキーキー」などと独特の声で鳴いているのでわかりやすいと思います。
多摩川のあたりでは数日前から良く聞かれるようになりました。皆さんのご近所でも鳴いていないでしょうか。
Come out to the park today from 5-8 for the Moon Market and Music event. We will have a tent where you can stop by and find out about the BioBlitz as well as our Community Wildlife Certification project and Pollinator Pathway.
Diagnosis: primary costa formed by long spines, similar to those in Somaticus (Clinocranion) spinosus, but approximated to suture and situated at about middle of elytron; the epipleural margination double, with the upper edge formed by long spines, together with its submarginal depression entirely visible in dorsal aspect.

Nachhaltige und modulierbare Architektur zu schaffen, ist kein Fachwissen, das nur dem Menschen vorbehalten ist. Zwergmäuse, Biber, Dachse und Töpfervögel führen ihr Können vor. Ihre erstaunlichen Bauten aus Holz, Blättern oder Strohlehm sind perfekt an ihre Umgebung angepasst und erfüllen alle denselben Zweck: Schutz für die Familie vor Unwetter und Fressfeinden.
The 2024 field symposium of the NSW Linnean Society will focus the South Coast of NSW and NE Victoria. Spectacular coastal outcrops amd unique botanical diversity characterise this region.

Today was a really nice day out and I wanted to get outside so I decided to harvest this beautiful plant. I have only ever known it by its Inupiaq name which is ayuu but it also has a Lingit name which is s’ikshaldeen. I have also heard it be called Hudson Bay tea or Labrador tea. I found it on the path behind housing here in Juneau.
This plant has dark green colored leathery, narrow leaves that tuck under at the edges. It also has dense orangish- brown hairs on the underside of...
Trying to find the cicada in the tree to make a decent observation has always been non-productive. I know it's there but we play hide and seek around the branch. I finally realized that I should record the cicada - count how many seconds before it starts singing again - and then playback my recording just a second or two before the cicada starts to sing another stanza. It will immediately crawl to the tip of the branch it's on to challenge the newcomer in plain sight! Photo challe...
Registros de avifauna.
Currently subjects are anesthetized in 5% iso alcohol solution until unresponsive, euthanized in 91% iso alcohol, then dissected and photographed in water. Reproductive systems are preserved in ~80% iso alcohol after photographing. Isopropyl alcohol is used due to availability and cost.
Resources I'm using:
From a distance it looks like spray paint, but up close it's a sculpture garden. Definitely one of my favorite lichens, even if it is common. On the trees in my neighborhood, it lives side by side comfortably with a dark green moss I haven't identified yet. The moss is in the upper right of the picture. Any guesses? What is the relationship here, that they grow side by side so often? Or do they both just thrive in the same environment?
Our September field trip on Saturday 7th combined walks around the Bird Paddock and the Orchid Block at Clarkesdale sanctuary with some iNaturalist instruction.
