They're not the best shots, but I finally got the red-shouldered hawk on camera. This one lit near the tent, so I was able to get this pic before it took flight (usually it takes off before you can get the camera aimed), and one in flight, which is posted on the birds page.

One of our watersnakes (Nerodia erythrogaster transversa) has a new favorite spot at the bridge.

First Gault blue bonnets of the spring were seen today, photo on the plants and trees page.

A pair of barred owls (Strix varia) has been heard calling back and forth at various points around Gault recently, but sightings have been limited to glimpses. Hopefully we'll be able to get a photo...

Jill Patton contributed this photo of a congregation of blotched plain-bellied watersnakes basking next to Buttermilk Creek, in April 2009.
