Had a great trip to south Texas last week. Got shots of numerous herps, some new birds, and other interesting stuff. Anytime I get a shot of Atrox...it's a good trip. We witnessed a large emergence of Texas Toads and Couch's Spadefoot...a rare week of rains brought them all out of the ground and they were hopping around everywhere Wednesday night. It was great having another herp lover to ride around with until 3 am and look for critters...thanks Clay! I'll try and get the good photos edited and in the galleries soon.

more later...

Got back from south Texas a few weeks ago and only had one or two images to show for my travels. The trip was part consulting and part photo shoot... and needless to say the consulting went better than the shoot. The wind was blowing 40+ miles per hour during my two days on the ranch but I still managed to get a couple good shots of a Texas tortoise (Gopherus berlandieri). They are pretty rare in certain parts of the state due to collection for the pet trade...they are listed as threatened and I feel lucky whenever I see one! See image BW0498 in the "Reptiles and Amphibians" gallery...
