Low creek crossing
After the quail survey on Friday it was time to go check on Shirley’s flowers in Cooke County.

Certainly stopping at the low creek crossing always has great finds! Now back in the car to head to Cooke County destinations.
One last thing from a recording at our wildlife camera.
What if The Loch Ness Monster Was Actually a Giant Eel?
Keep looking!
The more you know, the more you see and the more you see, the more you know
Whoa! A cat at your watering hole. Really really cool.
Exciting video of the bobcat – beautiful animals!
Lots of great finds! I love buffalo bur – wish it wasn’t so prickly. I wonder if the Manduca sp. feed on it too?
I don’t know.
What a wonderful video to catch!!!!
The False Indigo Bush at my house in Carrollton brought in the Silver Spotted Skipper. It blooms in spring. That is a gorgeous specimen. They lined parts of the creek at Legacy but never that robust. There is some down here in our rivers too. I planted one in my plant corral where sprinklers keep it watered along with my nursery and it has done well.
Its flowers are such an unusual color. Because I don’t have wet areas at the house I don’t get to observe it much. I think I read the silver spotted used it as a host plant. Let me know if you find some cats.
Robert Cat!
Ha ha! Nice name😊
