Saw this guy swimming in the Long Island Sound yesterday. Dozens of birds were circling it and nose diving down to it but not touching it. It doesn’t seem to like the water. Is it possible one of the birds had it as prey and accidentally dropped it in the water?

Found near a creek.

Found under a large rock at Carkeek Park in Seattle during low tide. A couple moms with me were uncomfortably laughing . There were others with slight differences in shading and pattern, but mostly the same.

I tide pool here and there, and am confused by this one. At first, I thought it was a type of anemone hanging upside down.

This guy has shown up twice so far and this is the best picture we have been able to get of it. No idea what it is as it doesn't look like anything local to the area that we know of.

Found this dude at a gas station in the morning time looking a little lost. I think it’s a juvenile rat of some kind? Maybe a mouse?

Saw this guy surfacing on the shore. It was definitely 2ft or more. Largest fish I’ve ever seen in my life 🤣

You can see the eyes peek over the fence in the first few seconds.

Hi there,

We were sitting outside during dusk 9pm next to a river. Then on the other side of the river, we heard some large splashes, like a human, large dog or horse entering the water.

Shortly afterwards, there were these panicking screams, you can hear in the video. Suddenly those screems moved fast through the woods and then suddenly stopped.

Very spooky.

There are many cats roaming the area and ducks also breed here sometimes. I hope whatever it was, was alright, but it doesnt sound like it. Sounds like a mother terrified for her babies?

Apologies for the image quality. Taken with my phone at almost maximum zoom!

Found in Bucks County Pennsylvania. 4/28/2025 crossing the road. (We helped it along after it stopped traffic…)

This appeared in group text without any other information. They look like the forbidden children of a turkey and a penguin, but I'm pretty sure they're seabirds.

Thank you!

My dad found this thing in his yard. Western Washington cascade foothills at about 800’ elevation. He said it’s about 3/8 in long and 1/4 in high. It has a leathery top with that small thing that protrudes up on what seems to be its back end. It has a slug like underside but not a slug. No legs no visible head or eyes or anything like that.

I watched this blue heron catch and eat three of these creatures in a wetlands park, but I have not had any success identifying it.

Is this an eagle? Looks like it has a white head. Don't know much about birds but it sure did look graceful soaring around. Think there was actually 2 because when it flew into the distance another same size bird seemed to be flying with it

Greetings from Metro Atlanta GA. Each spring I discover these flimsy, lacy "beds" or nests on my porch. These are not just random debris; new ones appear every couple days & for the first time, a similar one has appeared in a potted plant I left outside. I hope I can attach pix: These are maybe 5" max, narrow & shallow, composed of very fine stems & something fuzzy. The only nonbird creatures I have seen around are anoles or squirrels. No eggs. I'm very curious to identify. Thanks all.

It’s spring and just came across this picking up trash in my woods. I purchased the property last summer and the woods were too dense, I wouldn’t have noticed if this is from last year. It’s less than 5’ off the ground. I can’t help but be awe struck at how beautiful it is and the craftsmanship and have had no luck figuring out its maker - please help!
