That's a Grey (White Oak) in the pic.

Some others may want to comment, but I haven't seen any difference in the feeding response of a Baird's, compared to my other eastern and mid-western rats (old obsoletus complex).

I forgot about where you are... If you go west and/or northwest about 15 miles of your general location, Eastern Fence lizards are pretty common. It only takes one and you can use the tails, letting the lizard go to hunt bugs another day!!
