I have been seeing lots of wild turkeys on the road this year, here's one: unfortunately when you get close they run away. they are big suckers! cassowaries of north america! also this evening I saw a bald eagle fly right overhead, it was real cool but no pix unfortunately

today I hiked up a (modest) mountain. I saw this lovely coral fungus: a tree mushroom that looks like mick jagger:  a mountain stream with many peble:  speaking of plant monsters, on top of this mountain was a boggy area with carnivorous sundew plants:  oh yeah and a bunch of trees and stuff:

Prof. Crocodile posted:many good finds but please tell about the carnivorous plants! those are sundews. a little hard to see on my crappy cell phone photo, but the sort of star-shaped red plant (at the upper left) with round pads at the end of its stalks has a bunch of hairs that have tiny beads of moisture at the tips. these are actually very sticky, and insects that touch them will become stuck and the plants can digest them (they use insects for nutrients that are not available in the soil). there are some rather disturbing time lapse videos on youtube that show various types of sundew (they come in a bunch of different shapes) curling around a trapped insect as it struggles

I saw these cool mushrooms on a hike today I have no idea what they are, they are not chanterelles, they could maybe be jack o lantern mushrooms I suppose. that would be cool, those things glow in the dark! reference pic of jack o lantern mushrooms:
