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.

I found this patch of beautiful deep purple-blue anemones. 17 to 20 petals on single flowers, all in this same color, based on 5 different flowers. I added measurement pics to help with an ID. The location is a sandy field right off Hwy 114 that has remnants of a paved parking lot for something, maybe a small church, but there is no building or foundation at all now. Just a field with part of it treed with oaks. Nothing resembling landscaping was obvious to me. These flowers were right out in the open, just like other Anemones. Could this be just really dark A. berlandieri??

White Rock Lake, Sunset Bay, off the pier
When I saw these two, I just had to laugh.
At least I did it right in front of them.

On the coast near Galveston. Rarely find these, although locals say they used to be more common. Wonder if this is the fickleness of memory or a trend.

Watched this guy roll his poo ball down the hiking trail like it was made for him. I have no idea where he sourced this poo ball or how manages to make it so perfectly round.

Headed up to Tennessee to see my friend Darrell! I had to make some stops on the 8 hour drive, of course.
This was a nice little park in Hope, Arkansas. :)
(I'll spend a lot more time studying these observations and trying to ID them later on -- just wanted to upload them first)

I only saw the Leucistic Hummingbird 3 times Thursday, September 3rd. The other Hummingbirds didn't allow it to be at the feeder for more than 10 seconds at the most.

Pretty small little butterfly. 1.5 to 2 inches estimate. These were quite abundant on the heavily wooded trail but none were very still for very long. Lucky to have gotten this shot.
