Dixie -Happy to post to Biodiversity of Texas. Yes - had a telephoto.

Thanks ForestDragon. You are correct of course. I do get fooled by the Queen.

Thanks - I am still learning my butterflies.

Thank You YukoChartraw for your comments! I agree with your "bio":

"If we admire the variation and diversity of our own species as we do for all creatures on Project Noah, our world will be more peaceful. :-)"

Thanks Aron for the ID and reference. I am still learning about snakes in Texas.

Alice - You are so right. I had over 20 photos, most with 20% of the snake visible and the rest covered by leaves and branches. They certainly move fast, but I was lucky, it didn't seem to want to escape into the water so that gave me the opportunity to get some pictures in focus :-)

Ariana - Congratulations on spotting the Prothonotary Warbler at Jean Lafitte!
I was hoping for a spotting as well, but just heard them - never saw them.
It was great meeting you at BioBlitz 2013.

Thanks for the help on ID :)

Thanks ForestDragon for identifying the second bird in my photos 2-4.
I got carried away with posting from the trip and forgot to go back and add that note.

Thanks Liam. I had a hard time with this one. I thought his legs were shorter. Obviously, he is in deeper water than I thought!
