Morning at Cibolo Nature Center
To scout for the bio-blitz on October 10, I spent yesterday morning at the Cibolo Nature Center in Boerne, TX. I was concentrating on odonates since those are what I'll be finding for the bio-blitz. The biggest surprise was when a nearly three foot long coral snake appeared beside me by the creek. What a pretty animal!
Thanks very much to Donna Taylor for showing me around! Attached are the observations I made, and here are (mostly) the same photos on Flickr:

This cooperative male was hovering long enough for me to get my best in-flight photo of a dragonfly so far.

This brilliant male was a joy to photograph. The head tilts are so engaging!

I was excited to find this large Coral Snake foraging at the base of a large cypress tree. I estimated this snake was about 3 feet long.

Great photos! Nice find with the Coral Snake, what a pretty animal.
I wish wish wish I could come down for the Bioblitz, but alas, I'm hosting a Bioblitz on the same day at Oliver nature park! I'll be sure to keep an eye open for the observations that pop up at Cibolo though. Don't forget the plants!!! ;)
