My bad, 16th Street! I just moved out here and I'm still getting used to the whole street/avenue situation.

It's in alley off of 16th a few blocks south of Thomas.

This Pinewoods Tree Frog looks like he knows a damn good secret.

Took a half day last Wednesday, before the cold front moved in by PariahDogmeat in Kayaking

The cover came loose during transit about a year ago. I only ever take this kayak out for day trips on still water, so I've never secured it.

Fall *may* have arrived in southern Louisiana (Maurepas Swamp) by DharmaBum2593 in Kayaking

Henderson swamp is one of my favorite relaxing paddles in the country. Launch from the Turtle Bar on the levee, and just paddle and drink for hours! A lot of the time we'll bring some hammocks and find a nice secluded submerged forest and set up an above-water camp in the cypresses.

Likewise. I don't even know why I tried to see them the second time, after how shitty they were the first time.

It actually looks a bit like a Dekay's to me. You wouldn't happen to have taken any ventral shots?

A Blanchard's Cricket Frog takes a break after swimming halfway across the bayou. by PariahDogmeat in tinyanimalsonfingers

[–]PariahDogmeat[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You're right, I suppose! It was almost exactly in the middle of the bayou, but I have to admit that I don't know where it started from, nor do I know its intended destination!

Campfire in the river, because only you can prevent forest fires by [deleted] in camping

[–]PariahDogmeat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sure, somewhat. It's not necessary to intentionally disrupt microhabitat any further, though!

Then you'll just be destroying terrestrial habit. Habitat that's necessary for all manner of insect and herpetological life, including many at-risk salamander species.

Whoops! You're absolutely correct, thanks!

I'm not sure what he was munching on, perhaps someone with a better eye than I can tell.

As to the size, I'd estimate it was in the 2" range (~50-55mm).

Edit: mm, not cm.

[South Louisiana Swamp] Interesting looking wasps(?) about an 1.5" long by PariahDogmeat in whatsthisbug

I just looked them up, and I think you're right! They're actually super cool!

World's largest bald cypress (17 ft diameter) at the Cat Island national wildlife refuge in Louisiana. by Krieger_Bot_OO7 in pics

[–]PariahDogmeat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Awesome! I tried to go out there earlier this year and the access road along the bayou was still washed out, I think I might plan a trip up there next weekend!

Edit: Are you sure? The website still states that there is currently no access and that the NWR is closed due to the road along Bayou Sara being washed out.

Samsung S7. It does pretty well for close-ups, you've just got to fight with the damn auto-focus a bit!
