Animals, around San Antonio

Currently in San Antonio and a few days ago i was passing a mostly large empty field and saw two large birds. I knew immediatly what they were although i'd only seen their images in a bird book: Crested Caracara. I didn't have a birding lens and still stopped and got out my camera. The birds had been facing each other but began to walk away when i opened the truck to get my camera. Still, i got a couple of photos that clearly show their unusual coloring and size:



I drove home after these photos, retrieved my large birding lens and returned but they were no longer in the area. These are relatively rare in TX, mostly they live in Mexico and south of there. 

Around the house i photographed an Anole which is often called a Gecko but is not. I love these little lizards and this one was considerate enough to let me photograph him, or was it a her, somewhat closely.



and the scales are amazing

And one little very green frog:
