TAW Devine Lake March 2018
A light rain continued throughout the monitoring period but nonetheless we had a great turnout. 10 folks joined us: Kathy McCormack, Christie Gardner, Carolyn Doolittle, Amy Flinn and Mike Finn, and a young junior master naturalist Mason with his brother Evan and family.
Rio Grande Leopard Frogs were heard calling at C=2. Kathy McCormack got a recording. 2 individuals were caught and one was quite active, even calling while in the hand.
One unusual Gulf Coast Toad was seen but not calling. It was a very pale individual. Pictures taken.
Bats were heard with Kathy's bat speakers and several were seen flying low. The Great Horned owls were calling back and forth as well. The lake is still low despite the recent rains.
