Found on a river gravel bar. Sediments in the area range from cretaceous to holocoen with a good amount of Wisconsin lobe glacial till. Previously I have found bison, mammoth, and ancient horse in the same river valley...

Kneejerk reaction was Thamnophis proximus, though I don't know enough to say which subspecies. The turquoise-blue color of its underbelly and "side ribbons" was definitely more prominent in person.

Ringtail (Bassariscus astutus)Observer
gcwarblerDescription
This is one of the most surprising and interesting wildlife sightings of my career at Balcones Canyonlands NWR. BioTech Elizabeth Lesley and I were hiking through some steep hills during a Golden-cheeked Warbler survey when I heard a sound I'd never heard before. To make a long story short*, we came across two Ringtails mating in a tree overhead. You can read the whole R-rated tale of this encounter on my blog entry for Friends of Balcones Canyonlands NWR here:

Common Raccoon (Procyon lotor)Observer
oddfitzDescription
Had spotted a white bundle of fur in a tree and after a time spent studying determined it was a Raccoon with either Albinism or Leucism. It shifted a few times over a couple of hours and finally when I had nearly given up, it briefly opened it's eyes. Which confirmed this as an Albino, as Leucism does not impact eye pigment.
@sambiology @mchlfx @wildcarrot I went looking for @jblinde Siren's but got distracted obviously. Has anyone mentioned seeing this animal at LLELA?
