I had never seen a clawed frog larger than a couple inches. This monster was approaching 6 inches. I suspected it was a clawed frog at the time, but I really didn't know because of the size. In hindsight, I probably should have brought it home to live in an aquarium. It may have grown so large by feeding on the other amphibians in this playa.

I had just been in Mexico, where I saw quite a few different iguanas, and I got interested. How common are they in TX? I asked a buddy of mine who lives in Brownsville if he had ever seen any type of Iguanas. He sent me a picture of this, which he said he saw while walking at Morningside Park. He said he’s not sure if it’s still there.

We’re seen an Eagle in a nest above a creek for 1 month. Hwy 142 between Lockhart and Maxwell
The nest is in a cypress above a creek.
We’ve seen a total of 4 Eagles
Possibly another nest back in the forest area behind this nest.
February 8,2022. The Eagle was standing not sitting. Maybe the eggs hatched. Hopefully

I had been walking down the creek, looking for birds, but I was unlucky. I had decided to go to the city south side which is the best area to find birds. And I was on a rural field, and I found this bald eagle in the air. It was on the east shores of Lake Kilroy.

Running an errand into San Antonio via the back roads. Stop at roadside with extra shoulder overlooking a creek. There was heavy overcast and car temperate read 45F outside.
I could see the shadow of a big bird coming in the horizon. Earlier 2 c.aracaras had passed by as I step out my car. My thoughts it was another c.aracara coming my way. So I braced myself and made like a tripod. The shadow did get any better thru the camera view finder. As I click away, strangely in the back of my mind this bird did not fly like a c.aracara but rather it soar thru the cold air with great dominance and with little effort.
