I rescued this Gray Bird Grasshopper from my pool. It jumped back in a few times trying to get away from me.

Found on Private Property with permission

Tadpole

Lifer! In the middle of the ocean.

Can heat the chick calling. I know it's a woodpecker because I saw another one like this with the same sound and holes last year and saw the parents.

My 20000th observation!

Bath day.

A lovely salamander (I haven't seen in years) to find -- flipped three under this.

Found with David Weisenbeck (who is surveying the property and doing a write-up). Also, this individual is the longest ever recorded!

Found during crazy torrential downpour. Rain from this day measured a meter if I remember correctly. Presumably killed by monkeys.

A male and female pair.

Our guide yoinked this baby caiman out of the water. He put it back after a minute or so.

Friendly little guy who didn’t even rattle. We saw him off the road safely and he went on his way.

Smallest hatchling ever!

Yo who knows turtles

My wife took this cell phone image of a female Efferia in our yard today. Likely not identifiable past genus level.
