The first is a paintbrush, but you probably knew that already. Maybe Cusick's? http://science.halleyhosting.com/nature ... sickii.htm

Thanks, I was having a hard time placing which paintbrush but there are a few photos in the link that match perfectly.

Can anyone help me with these two? Saw quite a bit of each on Memorial Day Weekend at Zumwalt Prairie.





Thanks in advance!

Black-throated Gray Warbler (female)

Thank You!

Can anyone tell me what this little guy is? Spotted it along the Wapato Greenway on Sauvie Island 5/11. It's a bit blurry as it was hopping all over the trail but the size seemed a little smaller than a sparrow. https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/32885510207_a111aaceb6_z.jpg https://live.staticflic...

Well, my first thought is definitely a ghost.

After that, I'd say maybe a spider web.

I wondered about a spider, maybe an artistic one.

Was looking at some photos from the Tamanous Trail and spotted this white thing on the leaf to the right. It almost looks like a moth outline but maybe that is just an illusion (or a moth ghost? :lol: ) Anyone able to tell me what I'm seeing here? https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/47727394562_6a59...

Thanks for the links. Really interesting stuff.

We had the same question after seeing some of this along the Gales Creek Trail on New Years Day. I was going to ask the same question and would love to know the mechanics behind these formations.

Thanks - I should have guessed some kind of egrets but didn't know about the bills. Just a bit to the left of that one this was going on. :lol: https://farm2.staticflickr.com/1960/43377137310_413b5e49c3_k.jpg Of course those were the yellow bill variety. https://farm2.staticflickr.com/1950/442796204...

Thanks again bobcat!
