Found stunned, captured the bird and found no injuries present. Released bird down by the Trinity River, it flew away quickly into the trees
Had to save this guy from a rather risky situation. Had to get this gut to safety. Relocation was a success. It was stunned and all out of sorts but still had fight in him. He was just a bit rattled but able to be put back into the wild where he could roam free.

Other than 2021, the date and time is unknown due to game camera malfunction. Would have been sometime during summer or fall 2021.
My wife took this cell phone image of a female Efferia in our yard today. Likely not identifiable past genus level.
Found this little guy crossing a road moving away from water. I picked him up and give him a lift to his preferred habitat.
Stopped by High Oak Park in Arlington after lunch. I'd call this park a "jogging park" -- very little wildlife habitat and super low mowed grass/weeds. Nonetheless, a few critters were out and about!
Mass upload, tried my best to get decent recordings of what I was trying to focus on - but some might be difficult to hear.

Caesar's a fairly regular nocturnal visitor. Fortunately, he turned up on my third night of waiting and watching.

A young Ocelot visiting water feature at Visitor Center headquarters. Tragically, the Ocelot was ill and found dead a few days later.
Active nest on the backside of the D of the Hollywood sign.
This large rat was on the opposite bank. It swam across the pond and then ran into the rushes.

Street dogs, known in scientific literature as free-ragging urban dogs . They tend to differ from rural free-ragging dogs in their skill sets, socialization, and ecological effects.
Spent the day and the night at Lake Casa Blanca International State Park. It's a wonderful park, although so crazy dry and windy today... Spotted some neat things today and tonight.
We capture an interesting photo of a coyote at the FWNC&R!
Went to go looking for quetzals! Our guide Jimmy knew exactly where to go -- we spotted about 9 individuals and I got photos of a few of them. We spotted other cool stuff too. :) ID's still pending...

My first day in Portland for the urban biology conference, and I went to Powell Butte Nature Park -- this place is incredible! I spent most of the afternoon here and spotted way cool stuff.
Is it a fish? Is it a slug? Is it a fishy anemone? I do not have a clue what this is!
It is about 30mm long and there were a few of them in the sand - outgoing tide nearly on the turn. Most were buried and only the "fan fin" was showing.
Resting on the wet sand, when the sand collapsed it arched it's face upwards (2nd and third photos) and seem to spawn capsule from somewhere - there are 2 floating in the 4th pic.
Totally hypnotic, by the time my sister-in-law and I carried on the brother had walked 2kms away from us!
Had such a great time with fellow iNatters at Timberlake Field Station. iNat is a community! :) Still working on the ID's for many of these, but I'd never turn down assistance!
this robin was sitting in a bush right behind the bench we were sitting on. it was at the very closest focusing distance of my 45-200mm lens!
One of the 1st 2 chicks to successfully fledge on Lake Ontario in over 80 years. After leaving the nest they were found about 10 minutes from my home, roughly 100 km from their nest site.
There were a few of these medium sized (3cm?) insects up at the Rainbow Rooms on top of 30 Rockefeller Plaza!! How on earth they got up here... I mean, probably flew, but it's a long way up!
Diamondback Watersnake
Palo Alto, Clay Co., Mississippi
June 1, 1968
I caught this fairly large Diamondback Watersnake on the night of June 1, 1968 at a farm pond in n.e. Mississippi on the property of a cousin. We took the photos the next day. These are old slides, but the pattern of the snake is visible enough for an ID.

For years, since I first read of disk-winged bats, I've been peering into unfurled leaves of heliconias and prayer plants in Costa Rica, Ecuador, Peru, Bolivia, and Brazil. Today I finally scored – Thyroptera tricolor, Spix's Disk-winged Bat! The five species of this genus have tiny suction cups by their thumbs and heels to cling to the inside of these leaves, where they live during the day.
Oh please let some goodness fall from the feeder.
What a beautiful little patch of dandelions to lie in to pass away.... Rest in peace beautiful. I took many photos for art reference
this type of coloration of the rock pigeon is uncommon around the area
Found on front porch in Fruita, CO. Retrieved by bat biologist Dan Neubaum with CO Parks and Wildlife. Lactating female. Flew off later that evening
Bat asleep between a canvas umbrella and our house.
Headed down to Matagorda -- spotted these two birds waiting for some roadkill!
