I don't actually know what this is, but. I think it's a chicken of some sort. Cool little creature though.

Blue blowfly, aka blue bottle. Not one I like having in the house but at least he let me get up close for a pic.

Some fungi from a forest walk today.
Velvet Foot Parasol, Turkey Tail Bracket, a Smokey Polypore and a Black Chaga. First time I've ever seen the chaga, or a charcoal colored fungus of any type.

Poor picture quality, but I'm still glad I spotted them. A little pheasant harem. 😊

Maybe this will help:
