I don't know how I spotted this tiny baby musk turtle in the parking lot but I'm so glad I did. I relocated him to a nearby wetland.

It must be rattlesnake season! I caught an even bigger (but less angry) western diamond back today. They're such gorgeous animals.

I caught and relocated this big angry rattlesnake today.

It took almost a year, but I finally got to see some of the gators here at the park!

Attention all park opossums: anyone caught napping in the trash cans will be required to pay day use fees as well as site reservation fees from this point forwards.

This little opossum was napping in one of the trashcans at the park. She was quite grouchy when I woke her up.

There is an impressive high tide today at the park. The salt marsh is completely flooded.

I got so lucky this morning and got to see two water spouts out on the ocean today.

Rain over the sea this morning.

What a glorious morning.

I had a ride along buddy for a little while today. He was very friendly ^^

We had some storms out over the sea this morning. I got lucky enough to spot my first ever water spout!

Quite the photogenic ribbon snake.

Caught this common snapper trying to sneak into the bathrooms. I showed him to the nearest wetland.

The marsh was absolutely gorgeous this evening.

This sweet little swamp rabbit posed for me while munching flowers ^^

Mama killdeer and her babies must be protected at all costs.

I had to help these adorable little willet babies find their way back home today. They were resting in the road with their mom desperately tried to get them back into the safety of the tall grass. Unfortunately for me, mom didn't understand that I was trying to help and I had to dodge her swoops.

I see lots of people crabbing at the park everyday and here I have them coming straight to me.

I found this fiddler crab couple in the bathroom this morning and found them a new home^^

This poor little baby cotton mouth got lost in the bathroom this afternoon. Don't worry, I showed them to the nearest marsh.

I found the hang out spot for all the birds this morning.

I visited Brazos Bend State Park today and got to see some of the gorgeous reptiles they have in the nature center. In order: prairie kingsnake, Texas rat snake, American alligators, a copperhead and a water moccasin.

Helped this little old lady cross the road today ^^

A bunny came to visit me as I was leaving work today!

The killdeer nest we've been monitoring and protecting has a new resident! Hopefully more babies to come^^

Is this anything?

Just rescued this alligator snapping turtle from the road. So cute and so grumpy.

A pretty little saltmarsh snake I found sunning on the road. I found a safer spot for them to sun in. Such a cutie ^^

All the recent bunnies I've seen in the past few weeks... at least the ones that I was fast enough to photograph.

A cottontail rabbit behind my parents RV.

Just a perfectly pleasant mushroom I found.

There are so many bunnies all over the park^^

There are black bellied whistling ducks absolutely everywhere right now.

A cottontail bunny enjoying the rain today ^^

I got very lucky with this shot.

It's been a wonderful day for birding! I finally got a photo of a crested caracara.

Nickelodeon: We need a theme song for our new sitcom based on our popular shorts. Polaris: Here's a song about the Kent State massacre. Nickelodeon: Um, how about a song Little Pete overhears and makes a mission to find? Polaris: A song about a Peeping Tom, got it.

I just found one of my all time favorite tables very near where I live. I even won a free game^^

I found a beautiful rattler sunning on the road and admiring the scenery.

Just barely got a few shots of a juvenile yellow crowned night heron.

No one can see this tricolor heron... They're hiding.

Puffy little snowy egret ^^

This was the best shot I could get of this juvenile white ibis I found this morning. He's just now getting his white plumage. So pretty.

This little blue heron let me walk right up to it and then just posed for me^^

Found a thinstripe hermit crab right next to a shark eye (moon snail). So lucky!

Caught an enormous rattlesnake at the park. This guy has been hanging out around our boardwalk jump scaring guests for a while now. I finally got the snake sticks on him and relocated him to a much safer habitat.
