This is my last chance to post a trip I took to Kansas at the end of April, as I'll be working out of town the next three weeks.
Here we go.
Saw a lot of these little slug/worm eaters, and always enjoy them too.
Moving up in size, we pissed off the local bad ass.
Many Speckled Kings were found while looking for Milks.
And I have to show a tantila because I like them so much.
Okay, let's move on to the Milks. (L. t. gentilis)
This is a pair that came out from under one rock.
Big female from above.
A few little neonates w/ nice looking black saddles to them.
I liked this dark red saddled guy.
Couple of goober shoots of me being beat up by an unhappy female. Gotta love the look on my face- God I'm a dork. But happy.
She was very big which is why we took the photos.
Here she is rising up to dive in for another bite.
A little weather slipped in one night.
But most days were like this.
Very nice gentilis I thought.
And another nice one.
Stubby tail, but getting better looking don't you think?
Better.
Better still?
BEST. Four milks under one rock. Yesss.
I know, you can only count three, but there were four. You'll have to believe me.
Here is the fourth. He wouldn't sit still w/ the other three.
Warm milks can be fast.
I liked this male best of all, for the red bar across his eyes.
I have to thank Greatfuldead, for a great time. Thanks Chad.
Now back to work I go, Hi Ho.
