Would y’all think I was stupid if I said I had assumed this was Mojave Seablite? 😵💫 I didn’t expect something called “Prickly Russian Thistle” to look so succulent.
Visually confirmed ID w binoculars; RES on the right in second photo (separate record).
Found beneath a perch site with whitewash. Predator (owl) logged under separate listing.
