The bird was about one foot long and 1 foot tall. It was all black except for a red piece of skin on its head. It was staying on the side of the creek, and I think it was eating from there.

Description

This was a beautiful red berry. I saw multiple of these plants, but only saw them clumped together. The leaves looked like ovals with a point on the end. The leaves were not rough and were rounded on the edges. These were in a deep forest. They were in a dry area and were usually near other plants like them.

This was at the base of a pine tree in my yard and I had noticed this thing. It is about the size of two baseballs. I noticed It was purple like an onion but looked like a pineapple. The leaves on top of this could make it look like one. But this is a strange plant.

I found this little frog swimming in my pool! It wasn’t scared of me at all because I was able to pick it up. This little frog was the size of my pinky nail! So he was pretty tiny. It was brown with various speckles of brown on it. Does anyone know what kind of frog this is??
