Tracking Weekend
I spent March 29 and 30 with Earth Native Wilderness School's Tracking Intensive class. We spent time east of Austin in the Sealy area around Attwater Prairie Chicken NWR on Saturday, and in Smithville and LaGrange on Sunday. The weather was perfect and we found some exciting tracks, including River Otter and Muskrat! Attached are observations.
On the morning of the 30th we observed a Green Kingfisher near the bridge by Riverbend Park in Bastrop. I documented that here:

Right hind track on the left, and a front track on the right. I'm identifying these as Eastern Woodrat based on range.

From the top down, left hind, right front, right hind, left front. You can even see the differently shaped dew claws on the front and hind tracks.

This dragonfly had just emerged from its larval form. You can see the discarded skin in the second photo.
