49.
Apr. 14 Sabine Ranch, 5 mi. N Kerrville, Kerrlon Texas
Clear and calm at 6:45 but variable winds after
8:00 a.m. I worked in the same general area as yesterday--
see acct for farms.
Working along the brook (running water) I noticed
small frogs in some places. They seemed to be along the banks
only where there were dead leaves or other debris in the water
and invariably they sought shelter beneath such materials
when disturbed. I took one (#554).
I noticed one white-tailed deer skull with antlers attached.
Unfortunately, the antler tips had been dissolved by the brook
waters in which they lay so I left the skull there.
Armadillo carcass noted also.
