Observed eating a cardinal. I think this was a predation event as opposed to scavenging. I think this unfortunate cardinal was foraging in the wrong place at the wrong time.

Turkey vultures were observed picking skeleton clean. Skeleton is about 4' in length and missing a portion of the tail. Location, date, time listed are accurate for first observation. However, skeleton was retrieved and photos were taken at a later date/time at a different location. Photos & entry by CP.

Texas Coralsnake (Micrurus tener)Observer
texlexDescription
Found him stretched out and barely responsive on the paved bike trail of Terry Hershey Park, just west of Sam Houston Tollway. I poked him gently with a stick to check for any sign of injury and only found a smal patch of roughened scales about 2/3 down his length. After about a minute of minimal response, he started rolling around (about 20 seconds) with his head bent backwards as sharply as he could manage. Rather than coils, he seemed to be in a spasm throughout most of his length. I took him home and and have him in a large plastic container, and he seems to be improving, but is still fairly lethargic.

Found under a rock near the front pond at BFL. The sun had just set. Caught it but when I was trying to get my phone, it kept squirming and ended up with it detaching its tail. As a result, there's only a picture of the tail that was still moving shortly after the detachment. My bad
