A common grackle caught and killed a fledgling house sparrow, brought it to our yard to dismember and feed it to its own chick.

Went to a new friend's birthday party, one of four friends of mine whose birthday is the eleventh of September, and knew no one there, and was the only one present without children. (What I mean is, I felt really really awkward.) When the alarm went off I told her I was going to take my picture, did it quickly and put my camera away. Never checked the pic which was wildly overexposed due to being left on manual exposure. I balanced the levels best I could and stripped the color out. Now it looks like an old snapshot found loose fallen from a forgotten album (I hope).

People who I do know, and also don't have kids did arrive, so I felt much less awkward and had a nice time.

On this day in 365 Urban Species: Calocera cornea, an exquisite little fungus. Not much fungus this year: 0ver 30 days without rain and counting.
