The spring rain had this female crayfish on the move, with her larval young attached to her abdomen. After several weeks, the larval young will molt and separate from the adult.

"Hey, you guys look like ants from here!"

A masked bobwhite female finds a great vantage point on top of our aviculturist's net. Sometimes the quail can be escape artists, making it all more interesting! #maskedbobwhite #suttoncenter

"Wait... are you telling me my food bowl isn't made for dust bathing?"

Here are some more photos of our mascot, Blue. She is too perfect! She is often found on top of cedar piles watching out the window. These are her last photos before she was moved to the large barn for the winter.. #Attwatersprairiechicken #suttoncenter

Blue and Wiggles are always ready to pose for a photo!

Keeping bird baths filled brings many visitors during a drought! A northern flicker and a summer tanager are just two of many species seen recently. #suttoncenter #breedingbirdatlas #conservationeducation

Attwater’s prairie-chickens are professionals a taking cover! They are often found hunkered down in the tall grasses, lounging while hiding from potential predators. #Attwatersprairiechicken #endangeredspecies #suttoncenter

Saying ‘goodbye’ to the weekend like…

The Attwater’s prairie-chickens who are part of the conservation breeding flock and were not transferred to Texas are all outside enjoying fall weather while the barns are getting cleaned for the next season #attwatersprairiechicken #endangeredspecies #suttoncenter
