Four Winns Ranch 2021-10-23

In October I got to camp out for a night with Hill Country Conservancy's EPIC group on one of HCC's new conservation easement properties, the Four Winns Ranch in Hays County near the small town of Wimberley. I spent the afternoon exploring and was excited to find this beautiful little waterfall on a small creek running through the property:

Waterfall

Attached are some observations of plants and animals that caught my eye and that I was able to photograph. It was fun to see several Autumn Meadowhawk dragonflies, a species I rarely see in my northwest Austin neighborhood. And there were a few beautiful patches of Lindheimer Muhly grass.

Here's my eBird list from Saturday afternoon.

And here are the same photos on Flickr.

The striking pattern on this little frog made me think it might have been something other than a Gulf Coast Toad. But closer examination of the pattern of head ridges and poison sacs on the back of the head make me think it is a Gulf Coast Toad.

Thanks! Did you see the Gulf Coast Toad observation? That pattern really made me think it was another species!
