Eating a Gulf Coast Ribbon Snake while a pesky Northern Mockingbird tries to push it off its perch. Two young Loggerhead Shrikes watch from a distance in amazement.

It's such fun to explore Sabal Palm Sanctuary -- I had special permission to access the property after hours to blacklight. So great. I walked around a bit before sunset to look for bugs. :)

Finally!!! A long-awaited lifer.

Lifer!

Gymnosiphon minutus

Habitat: terra firme forest.
Serra do Divisor National Park, Mancio Lima, AC, Brazil.

Breached at least 8 times over the course of a few minutes

Location not exact! Seen on Punda sunset drive

Almost certainly the same individual as my previous observation (https://www.inaturalist.org/observations/10543923), at a slightly different location and on a different date.

Calliostoma annulatum making a funny face.

County record?

Same spot as Tuesday, but this one has the full flagellum. These seem to be somewhat common at BFL--I saw them down closer to the river as well in a completely different soil type.
