Eva has lost a bit of weight since coming home with Allison and I in January 2013.

Early visit
Broadhead skink
A broadhead skink Plestiodon laticeps that was a bit too fast for me. This specimen was fairly large, probably approaching the maximum in the normal size range for this species at about 30 cm in total length. I found this specimen at Skidaway.
King tide at Skidaway
Treat!

Sheparding
Juniperus virginiana
Some more Red Cedar, or Juniper, at Skidaway. At least I think… I took the photograph of the scaly leaf at the park, but can’t remember what tree/shrub it was attached to….
Black Rush
Black rush, Juncus roemerianus, occurs in patches in the salt marshes surrounding Savannah. The patches stand slightly taller than the Smooth Cordgrass, Spartina alterniflora, making them visible from the edges of the marshes. This specimen sat in a patch above a channel at Skidaway.
