Rough Greensnake catching an orbweaver spider. It got close to the web and then stayed there for what felt like 10 minutes (not sure it was waiting to figure out how to catch the spider or because I had disturbed it). After a while, it finally caught the spider and seemed to have no trouble eating it. My first time seeing a wild snake catch its prey!

A pair of mallards honked at it until it got out of the water, then it swam up the lake to this log, went inside, and then popped out of this hole. Observed with @micro_ecologist

Eating leopard frog. Didn't see the outcome, but the frog looked a little big for this intrepid young water snake, and I don't think it would have been able to swallow it from behind.

Some type of warbler? We were doing survey in the middle of the ocean near Dry Tortugas National Park and this little buddy hung out with us for 4-5 hours before regaining his energy and continuing on his way to wherever he was going. Gave it water - what a day!

Observation and photo by Matt Plunkett. Matt observed the salamander on previous passes while on trail run. Last pass he observed the copperhead eating the slimy salamander.

Taken on monthly Birding on Broadmeade group walk on Lake Creek Trail in Williamson County in northwest Austin.
Two small Blotched Water Snakes were hunting minnows in the creek near the third low water crossing. At first we wondered if this was one snake with two heads, but finally one head moved somewhere else.
