JADIN EXPEDITIONS

Robert Jadin's Herpetology Journal

 Spring Break 2004 (South Texas)

On spring break, Josh Engelbert and I decided to head down to south Texas and catch some cool herps.  We were originally thinking about going to west Texas but decided against it because it was almost 10 degrees warmer in south Texas and about the same distance.  So we headed out and found all sorts of awesome herps and birds. 

 

Here are our lists of what we caught and saw:
