The Daily Bucket is a place to catch your casual observations of the natural world and turn them into a valuable resource. Whether it's the first flowers of spring or that odd bug in your basement, don't be afraid to toss your thoughts into the bucket. Check here for a more complete description.
Yesterday, we had several hatches of garden spiders here in Castro Valley, CA. A couple of photos are below the jump.
What you see
What you get
Share your own observations in comments, and I'll add a marker to the map. Please give a city and state (as close as you feel comfortable in providing). Green pins for observations mostly about plants, brown for animals, and blue for weather or other inorganic items. The letter at the center of each pin will be the first letter of the user who provides the data.
I won't be doing a map, but please provide your location anyway, after all, a Costa's Hummingbird is a bit less common in Michigan than in
Arizona.
