If I had known that these Amanita caesareas smell pleasantly of eggs, I would have taken a sniff. I immediately remembered the Sandra Boynton cartoon of an elephant lying down while turkeys stand upon it, with the caption “Don’t let the turkeys get you down.” Then I saw its shiny partner. More on that later.

We did however see a Yellow-rumped Warbler at Elephant Butte Lake, New Mexico on 16th November 1989 and a Townsend’s Warbler at Big Sur, California on 3rd December 1989. We spent almost 4 months crossing the USA and had an amazing time, although it was not the right time of year for Wood-Warblers.
