This California endemic was identified by its habitat, the shape and color patterning on its petals, the exceptionally long stamens, and the lack of obvious hairs on the calyx.

This giant clam was a small one, only about 18" across, and was wedged into a massive boulder coral. Several were seen along this stretch of reef.

This is one of the fascinating all-female species of whiptail. In these species the adults lay eggs that have not been externally fertilized but instead are clones of the mother..

I think this might be Tremella mesenterica. It was growing on oak, there was no visible Stereum, and it appeared to be paler, more yellow and less golden colored, and more translucent than the more common Tremella aurantia seen in the area. It also mentions in the book, Mushrooms of the Redwood Coast, that T. mesenterica has a more simple fruit body of one to several leafy lobes vs. the brain like mass usually formed by T. aurantia.

I am stumped. Horsefly-sized, with weird haltere-like things. Maybe abnormal coloration?

With dozens of similar species of skink throughout Queensland, it has taken several attempts at counting individual scales, checking their structure, the shape of their ears, and other tiny details to be comfortable that I am making solid identifications. This species is endemic to a small region of coastal tropical rainforest below Cape York.

Bobo de Nazca Sula grantiObserv.
jmaughnDescripción
This is either a Masked or a Nazca Booby. Sentiment among the Birders-that-Be (of which I am emphatically not one...) seems to be leaning slightly towards Nazca. I'm basing my ID on that, plus what looks to me like a pale-pinkish tinge to the base of the bill, and some white in and around the base of the tail. This ID is very tentative, though, and I'll be revisiting it as the prevailing views of the people around here who actually know what they're doing evolve.

rjadams55Descripción
Two species of teasel are found in the area. According to the Jepson Manual;
D. sativus has a involucre bract that is generally ± spreading or reflexed
D. fullonum has a involucre bract that is generally erect or upcurved
This more closely matches D. sativus in descriptions and illustrations.

I walked right over these succulents, and @rjadams55 pointed them out to me. Their colouring blended in so well with their serpentinite substrate!
UPDATE 3/14/2017: Dudleya abramsii ssp. murina (Mouse-Gray Dudleya) is included in the CNPS Inventory of Rare and Endangered Plants on list 1B.3 (rare, threatened, or endangered in CA and elsewhere). https://goo.gl/k9NDr2
