A week later, 09/03/2023, baby gators were still under this fallen tree near Bird Box #18. The water there was noticeably lower. I found the mom gator on the other side of the tree. The babies changed position through the day-in the same branches at last week in the morning, then on the other side of the tree in the afternoon. I was at least 15 yards away, using lots of zoom. #Alligator #Archosaurs #Wildlife #TexasDrought

On 08/27/2023, at BBSP the pod of baby gators was under this fallen tree near Bird Box #18; about 70 yards West from where I'd found a pod the week before, 20 yards in front of where 1 of the alligator nests had been this summer. I couldn't not find their mother, but she could have been submerged, or hidden by plant cover. Pics show how I was at least 15 yards away, using lots of zoom. #Alligator #Archosaurs #Wildlife #texasdrought

05/16/2023 An Eagle was on top of the high-tension tower at Fiorenza Park. Almost everything the Eagle saw below was potential prey. The Eagle was an imposing apex predator atop the tower; looking down upon its domain. Then, this happened. At first, the Eagle seemed a bit perplexed. The Eagle tried to go back to looking majestic. But the Northern Mockingbird didn't allow that. Video at this link: http://www.rickubis.com/rick/eaglemock05162023.mp4 #eagles #mockingbirds #archosaurs #birds #urbanwildlife

On 03/19/2023 This Limpkin was hunting in Elm Lake at Brazos Bend State Park in Texas. It captured at least 6 mussels over 45 minutes. The procedure: 1)Chip off edge of the closed shell. 2)Stand the shell. 3) Insert beak, disrupt mussel. 4)Open the shell. 5) Swallow the main body. 6) Clean the small bits. video: http://www.rickubis.com/rick/limpkin03192023.mp4 Look at all of the discarded mussel shells in the picture!

The survivors of the #Permian #Extinction I mentioned last week included the #archosaurs, the lineage of #reptiles that includes #crocodiles, #dinosaurs, and #birds. This #fossil from the subsequent #Triassic is from a very close #dinosaur relative. Found in the #Luangwa Valley of #Zambia 🇿🇲, it was named Lutungutali sitwensis, #Bemba for "high hip" and named in honor of the village of Sitwe.
Figure from Peecook et al. 2013

Random #azhdarchid just because I liked the pose in the sketch.
This drawing won’t be posted on Twitter (emphasis on “twit”) as I am attempting to free myself from that platform :)
