Greetings All:
Here is the ninth summary of my 2013 game. September usually sees a bigger
pickup in waterfowl, a continuation of whatever shorebird season is
happening (a very poor one for us this year), and a major increase in migrant
songbirds. The performance of other taxa depends on weather (late summer/early
autumn rains) and things remained just green enough that I found a few goodies
in the patch - CBC-sized and centered at Quaker Avenue and
34th Street in Lubbock. August kicked out 46 species of butterfly, 3
species of amphibian, 11 species of reptile, 141 species of bird, and 13
species of mammal.
My goals for the year were 50 species of butterfly, 5 species of
amphibian, 10 species of reptile, 250 species of bird, and 15 species of mammal
by the end of the year. By the end of July, I had tallied 63
species of butterfly (126%), 9 species of amphibian (180%), 21 species
of reptile (210%), 251 species of bird (100% and a hair), and 24 species of
mammal
160%). The rate of success for amphibians, reptiles, and mammals has
been far better than I expected and October could, conceivably, yield a few
more in each category.
The following list includes all the critters seen in my patch during July
