ID based on AI.
Vines on ground among leaf litter. Is growing as a weed in a vacant patch.
Native species. Perching in a tree at around sunset time. Uncommon around here in my experience. Located in a vacant lot.
I found this plant growing as a weed in a vacant lot which isn't actively managed or weeded.
The lot was trimmed for construction vehicles a few moths ago.
This American Robin was vocalizing a lot on the quad in the dark. I walked after it getting a vocalization video, and it let me get within 2 feet as it paused before moving away.
(I'll add the audio clip later)
Interesting plant with what appears to be a lot of flowering buds - yet to flower.
3+ dried out mushrooms found emrrging from the soil surrounding a planted tree. I've observed this species here multiple times over a long period of time. 3 mushrooms shown here, including some cross sections and size comparisons.
