Fire Ant Flickers (#17) — The Year End Edition
I won't bore you with what I accomplished in 2025. I have other stuff to bore you with.
This post has pretty much nothing to do with New Year’s Eve and all that jazz, but it does have some actual jazz. And other stuff.
Neighborhood Nature (Pt. 26)
A few observations about buzzards and butterflies
In which we explore the behaviors of winged creatures at opposite ends of the beauty spectrum.
Neighborhood Nature (Pt. 25)
Getting caught up on a month's worth of encounters with the local fauna
Wherein I describe encounters with a mystery insect, a mob of carrion diners, a rock-dwelling squirrel, and a snake with a pig snout and curly tail.
Squirrel Insanity and Goose Goofiness
A tale of two species: it was the zaniest of times; it was the most vexing of times
Some animals are silly and beg to be photographed; others are irksome and beg to be shot.
A Screech Within Reach
A juvenile screech owl has decided to make itself at home on our front porch.
I went to a lot of trouble to hang a perfectly nice owl box on a tree, when all we really had to do was have a front porch.
Fishing Spiders
Pecan Creek always provides some interesting nature scenes after a heavy rainfall.
Fishing spiders. What’ll they think of next…wakeboarding centipedes?

Have you missed me? I've missed you!
I’m back with a variety of unrelated topics as a way of easing back into this blogging thing.
Neighborhood Nature (Pt. 24)
Nature puts on quite a show this time of year; never go outside without a camera!
Springtime in the Texas Hill Country brings lots of opportunities for encounters with wildlife…some wilder than others.

It's been an interesting week in and around Casa Fire Ant
Pie, drought, dogs, turtles, sitcoms, and buzzards: there’s something for everyone!
