Spring has arrived at the Preserve. It's been beautiful -- 80° days -- and the leaves are back on the trees. The reptiles are coming out of hibernation.
And the schoolkids are still in school, so it's still enjoyable.
Compare the leaves on the Mexican Sycamore to the first pic in this thread, taken in mid-February.
The turtles are happy spring is here. Here are six of them hanging out grabbing some tan -- three species in this picture.
More marine fossils -- cephalopods here.
The Creek.
Saw my first snake of the season last week, a two-foot water moccasin.
Sunfish. Their mating season is about to start.
Black ground beetle.
Another cottonmouth, this one near the footbridge.
Texas creek frog.
Juvenile diamond-backed water-snake.
Red-eared slider, out for a swim.
Another mocccasin. I almost stepped on this one -- less than a foot away ... it definitely got my heartrate up when he took off.
The same snake.
