I'm a former molecular biologist with a life-long love for the natural world (thanks, mom and dad). I also did a few years of post graduate field work on parthenogenic whip-tailed lizards (then Genus Cnemidophorus, now Aspidoscelis). And I am now a Master Naturalist in the Texas Lost Pines Chapter (class of 2022). Lots to ID on our 40 rural acres in Central Texas (Bastrop County). Animal behavior, herps, mammals, bugs, rocks, and birds all fascinate me, and I am getting more into plants - with your help. My profile pic highlights one of my favorite animal encounters. Can you figure out what and where it is?
