Genus KlebsormidiumObserver
polarblairxDescription
Growing on concrete in alleyway, forming a filamentous mesh. Desiccation and cold-resistance leads me to believe it is most likely to be a Klebsormidium sp., 1st and 2nd are wetted, 3rd is dry.

This might be the same plant that was observed at 5:42pm, but I'm not 100% sure so I am making a separate observation. (It was an out and back trail - this might have been the same plant photographed earlier in the day.)

Owls (Order Strigiformes)Observer
hb2000Description
- This observation is to identify the species of the owl that made this pellet, not the content of the pellet.
- The following observation is to identify the content: https://www.inaturalist.org/observations/106565475
Pellet length: 7 cm
Found in Rutgers Gardens at the base of a tall hemlock tree.
The whole mass is like one single piece, like a sculpture. The bones seem to be glued together. The pellet did not have the usual skin or fur envelope.
