Look at the antennae! Butterfly have long club shaped antennae, where moth have antennae that are more feathery or saw-shaped.

This oddly shaped bird is the California Thrasher (Toxostoma redivivum). This species’ most unique feature is its deeply curved bill. California thrashers forage primarily on the ground by sweeping through leaf litter and soil with their sickle-shaped bills. #WildlifeWednesday

Pigeons are often seen as mundane, but the band-tailed pigeon (Patageioenas fasciata) is anything but. This is California’s only native pigeon, and the largest pigeon in North America (16 inches long from head to tail)! Fun fact: they can eat acorns whole! #WildlifeWednesday
