A little warmth, a little rain, and suddenly my drive home takes a whole lot longer! One of the 6 toads I moved off the roads tonight on my way home. (Thankfully, they're not very busy roads.)

A beautiful skunk I encountered (from a distance, thankfully) while bird watching. It noticed me right away, but I guess I wasn't too threatening as it ignored me and continued to root around for things to eat.

Mama red squirrel getting a little extra calcium from an old fragment of deer bone. I knew they would eat bones and antlers but this is the first time I have witnessed it.

From a few years ago... I'm so delighted to see these critters doing well where I live, here in southern Oklahoma. Anyway, I was lucky enough to catch these two doing the deed! If you look closely, you'll see that the male is biting his mate's horn! ...

One more... This is one of my all time luckiest shots: mantis preying on cicada. I didn't see the catch itself; but was out shooting bugs when I noticed this going on... Vicious!

My latest batch of A. dubernardi are growing quickly! Two have pupated already, many more are close. This photo represents about half of my stock on scotch pine (P. silvestris)--by far, my most successful brood.

Here's one to balance out the ugliness of the decapitated vole post... Earlier this year, my wife spotted this red tailed hawk, and saw it again in the same spot hours later... We went back, ready with a towel, and rescued it- wing injury, probably ...

It's nearly 11pm, it's 75°F, overcast, and humid: it's a GREAT night for insects! These individuals are the fervid plagodis, a giant stonefly, the tulip tree beauty and some little eupithecia species, and another Nicrophorus burying beetle with ...

No pic but there is a busy beaver doing a lot of work at night in the river by the hot spring I frequent. Last evening I got to see it surface about 3 times. It is about 2 feet nose to rump
