Some texas critters

varanid May 15, 2011 10:36 AM

From the last couple of days. I was surprised by the lizards as it's been cool again (nights in the 30s, days in the 60s). Not much snake activity. Did see some mammals. Not pictured: the other 4 whiptails, a porcupine, a raccoon, and tons of deer, vultures, hawks.

Side blotched lizard (Uta stansubriana). I have not seen one of these in 5 years. Made me very happy. Still missing: Holbrookia maculata and C. texanum. Used to see them in the canyon semi-regularly but...around 2006 I guess they all dried up and blew away? See tons of whiptails and prairie lizards still.

a pretty collared. I was astonished to see one out in this weather. It wasn't 60 degrees when this picture was taken.

UGLY but cute in a hideous sort of way

pretty bird

prairie lizard: my most common herp

one of 5 whiptails, only decent photo

exotic sheep

prarie lizard:

leopard frogs

the only herp my boardline turned up yesterday:

hoping for rain here.

Love that colored, is very strange that he came out when the temps were that low. I usually see those guys out when it is so hot that everything else is shriveling up and blowing away.

Out on my place in Val Verde county sunny mornings after cold nights is the very best time to observe Collared lizards.

Have fun, be safe.
