Notes:

Saw this guy outside the NWF headquarters today during a training. He may not be on the list of National Wildlife Week species but his coloring was so extraordinarily brilliant that i stopped concentrating and just watched.

Lovely indeed Amanda! The NWF mission is aimed at 5 very specific categories: Wildlife with Innovative Defenses, Record Breakers, Wildlife with Super Senses, Species that Survive in Unusual Habitats, and Wildlife with Special Adaptations. I don't think this belongs in any of these categories but you should consider adding it to the "Birds of the World" & "Color Red" missions instead. Welcome to the community!
