October herping recon
UT students Ashwin N., Jyotishko R. and Maia R. visited the preserve this early October on a couple of herping trips. Unfortunately they did not find much on the tail-end of the summer drought since there is no standing or running water on the property.
They made some suggestions to improve habitat and hiding places for snakes in particular and we are hoping to see them again in the spring for a full survey of the tract.
Let's hope this marks the beginning of a fruitful collaboration with UT students interested in all kinds of fauna and flora surveys and perhaps even more ambitious ecological studies.
