Dawn over Trial island…I met my brother up on Gonzales Hill and his D90 had just kicked the bucket…Possibly the shutter mechanism is dead.

There were lots of Turkey Vultures, possibly some spring migrants. Apparently some also overwinter near Victoria.

One cool find at my mother’s place was this Omus dejeanii, a Night-Stalking Tiger Beetle, only the 2nd record for Victoria.
