beschwarDescription
As I understand, this is one of perhaps only two stygobitic species of leech known in the world. The other is in Slovenia, I believe. This species remains undescribed after ~30 years. It is one of the 37 species of groundwater fauna known from the San Marcos Artesian Well in the Edwards Aquifer.
Grid marks on the scale paper are 1/4". I know...

Largespring Gambusia (Gambusia geiseri)Observer
dustin_lynchDescription
Complete absence of dark 'tear-drop" marking under eye. Side with irregular black speckles, row of black spots midway through caudal fin. Inhabiting cold, spring-fed water (not typically inhabited by G. affinis).
Abundant in spring-fed old hatchery pond on campus. Had heard talks about this and other Gambusia species in the region at the SWAN meetings earlier in the day.

Red Hickory (Carya ovalis)Observer
threepogoniasDescription
This species isn’t typically recognized from New England where it is subsumed under Carya glabra, but given the strange habitat (sandy outwash with perched water table over silt-clay glaciolacustrine sediment) and the fact that I’ve never seen a pignut like this, I’m going to throw out the C. ovalis ID, which is recognized in Weakley’s flora of the Southeast (and lists MA as the northern extent).

Northern Flying Squirrel (Glaucomys sabrinus)Observer
cgbb2004Description
A life species for me! This little squirrel was digging seeds out of the snow under the bird feeder. I've thought we might have flying squirrels here because sometimes late at night, we hear the typical sounds of red or gray squirrels racing along the outside of our log cabin walls, but likely not either of those diurnal species.

I believe this is a hybrid Drosera species because of the shape of the lamina and the (difficult to see) hairs on the petioles.
