backyard critter watch: The Lizard's Old Skin
http://backyardcritterwatch.blogspot.com/2014/07/the-lizard.html
Amateur naturalists discuss the flora and fauna of the San Francisco Bay Area of California, USA. Thursday, July 10, 2014. The Lizard's Old Skin. Treasures come in many shapes and sizes, and this one, the shed skin of a backyard lizard, is quite a prize indeed! We found it tucked away in a stack of oak logs that we piled up behind the house and decided to move. Amazingly, the skin is intact, down to the tiny and well articulated feet. How did the lizard extricate itself from the old skin? Yesterday, I wa...

backyard critter watch: August 2011
http://backyardcritterwatch.blogspot.com/2011_08_01_archive.html
Amateur naturalists discuss the flora and fauna of the San Francisco Bay Area of California, USA. Tuesday, August 16, 2011. A Green Anole on Maui. He has a dewlap or throatfan under his chin that he would open up from time to time. It was bright red or orange in color and would stick out from under his neck by half an inch or so. He wouldn't do this when I had the camera on him, though. But, here is a picture of a gecko with his dewlap out. Some say they escaped from a pet store. Links to this post.

backyard critter watch: Tree Squirrels
http://backyardcritterwatch.blogspot.com/2011/02/tree-squirrels.html
Amateur naturalists discuss the flora and fauna of the San Francisco Bay Area of California, USA. Monday, February 14, 2011. Love them or hate them? They have adapted well to the urban landscape. The squirrels we have around our house are fox squirrels (Sciurus niger), and as the photos show, they are cute. February 15, 2011 at 2:43 PM. We love squirrels. When our kids were little we had the opportunity to raise some baby squirrels who had become orphaned. Save Treloyhan Manor Woodland from Development.

backyard critter watch: October 2011
http://backyardcritterwatch.blogspot.com/2011_10_01_archive.html
Amateur naturalists discuss the flora and fauna of the San Francisco Bay Area of California, USA. Friday, October 7, 2011. Feral Cats caught by Camera Trap. We placed our trail camera by a creek in an open space park near our house, and we were surprised when the results showed a pair of feral cats coming and going in front of the camera almost every evening. You will notice in one photo a strange snaky streak next to the black cat. We are not sure what it is. A snake ghost? A ghost of some other animal?

backyard critter watch: Little Spotted Beetles
http://backyardcritterwatch.blogspot.com/2011/03/little-spotted-beetles.html
Amateur naturalists discuss the flora and fauna of the San Francisco Bay Area of California, USA. Saturday, March 12, 2011. Yesterday, I was working at my desk when I noticed 2 little spots on the pull cords of the blinds on my window. The spots were so small, at first I thought they were just specs of dirt, but on closer inspection I realized they were some sort of bug. I got out my camera, put it in 'super macro' mode and took a few close-up pictures. March 3, 2012 at 8:30 AM. March 18, 2012 at 6:15 PM.
