Red-eared Slider (Trachemys scripta ssp. elegans)Observer
cmalteseDescription
These turtles are in a man made, stocked pond at Oak Canyon Community Park which leads me to believe they were put there.
Upon looking them up on californiaherps.com I read that they are an alien species.
There are at least 10 that I saw today.

Western Screech-Owl (Megascops kennicottii)Observer
victorDescription
The owl seemed to prefer the ground; I think it was guarding a nest (and if so, it was doing a horrible job). Upon my arrival, the bird hopped onto a branch. The owl was about 10 inches tall. See the photograph for more detail. FYI - my geographic placement is not entirely correct. The sighting was somewhere around Weldon Peak, but I can't remember the details.

shelldog12Description
I found this bat when I was hiking. Unfortunately, it was belly up and still breathing. Knowing the dangers, I kept my distance while taking the picture. It was very beautiful; grey, black, white mottling on it's chest.
