San Angelo State Park Photos

First time I've seen one of these! I saw this one on the Turkey Creek Trail as I was heading back. Probably about two inches long - Note the ant caught on his leg (which were covered in hairs) (Photo by MikeHikes)

I'm aware of the feral hog problem in Texas but this is the first time I've seen feral hogs at the park. Photo taken at Cougar Overlook at 1:15 10/8/14. (Photo by MikeHikes)

I take my camera whenever I hike so when I spotted this tree and clouds, I had to take the shot - it just looked nice! (Photo by MikeHikes)

Best guess is a juvenile Broad-winged hawk. He was very leisurely flying overhead and at one point, he got into a small raptor's territory and the smaller bird chased him off! (Photo by MikeHikes)

Shady trail located on the north side of the park has this interesting tunnel effect in a small grove of trees. (Photo by rodavenport)

Not everyone around here likes the mesquite tree but I do. The trees provide shade for me and food for all kinds of animals. (Photo by MikeHikes)

Don't know what kind of snake except he is not a rattler. Saw him stretched on the trail and was able to get a few pics of him tasting the air. He went his way, and we went ours. (Photo by MikeHikes)

More and more of the purple thistle are showing up - means Fall isn't far behind and we'll soon see migrating birds. (Photo by MikeHikes)

This guy was 5-6 feet long! He did not mind me taking his picture. I left him and when I returned a few hours later, he was gone. (Photo by MikeHikes)

The rock you see is normally covered when the water flows in the river - easy to see what the drought has done to the area. We need rain and lots of it! (Photo by MikeHikes)

Found on East Potts Creek Trail. I saw him from about three feet away, I backed up and had tossed a few sticks to get him to move off the edge of the trail. He went into the brush and rattled his warning as I gave him a wide berth. (Photo by MikeHikes)

Hiking throughout the park, the wind carried the strong scent of vanilla from this plant. The plants are throughout the park and made the hike very enjoyable. (Photo by MikeHikes)

An adult Kite is bracketed by two juvenile Mississippi Kites. saw lots of other birds as well today. (Photo by MikeHikes)

Although we've had some rain lately, this sign is from L-O-N-G ago. Maps show O.C. Fisher Reservoir as being a fairly large lake - it is currently at 1% capacity and all the water is at the southern end by the dam. UPDATE 09-16-20 Water level is 7.2% (Photo by MikeHikes)

Working on the next generation of dragonflies! (Photo by MikeHikes)

This hawk made a swoop and miss at the adult duck who got her ducklings under the tree. After awhile, the hawk left and the ducks continued their lives undisturbed. (Photo by MikeHikes)
