There has been some talk of slime lately. I found this on a choke cherry bush. It looks a lot like warmed axle grease or big globs (a technical term) of spruce sap.

Also, Mike Ruzich solved the chrysalis mystery. It's that of a mourning cloak butterfly.

Before seeing your photos, I thought it might be a jelly fungus, but this looks like resin to me.  Is the cherry tree old?  Perhaps it is diseased.

Can someone id this bird (or other?) sound for me? It starts 8 seconds into

Thanks!

I think it might be a Franklin`s ground squirrel.

Julie,
 
Thanks! I listened to this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EnVagwCd9Wk and
it sure seems like you are right.

Possibly a mourning cloak chrysalis
