Specimen seen under microscope at 400x. Water sample collected from Southwest Greenway pond in Austin, TX.
Bird walking along grass. For a what seemed like a while. Seemed to be looking around for something. Cool weather but not cold compared to most days surrounding this time.
This toad was found under a log. He was brown in color and looked like he had a smooth surface.
Saw this outside the garage.
Two ducks on a pond swimming away from the shore.
Gray bird with pael red beak
I’m not sure it this is a good picture. They were in a pond. But when I got close they flew away. They were ducking their heads in water before I showed up. Fairly small birds or ducks. They were swimming along all together in the water.
Saw these turtles walking our dog near the golf course in Decatur. It looks to me like there is actually two species in the picture. Maybe two look like box turtle species and one looks like a soft-shell turtle
Note: post was edited to remove photo that may have been a different species.
Turtles.
Small, whitish, tear dropped shaped bugs rapidly swarming around a pile of leaves. There were quite a few of them, they were about .5 cm in length. They somewhat resembled leaves. Observed in someone's front yard in my neighborhood.
