and again, with an abstract due on Monday as well as a grant report, I will have to back out once more.
I did at least get at least a few good herps in the last few weeks, including a Collared Lizard and a pair of Prairie Rattlesnakes

Re: S. Florida it is... Exotics?
I can definitely understand discretion with native species or species that inhabit sensitive habitats/microhabitats (exfoliating rock, etc). But wouldn't decline or elimination of introduced herp populations be a good thing

Re: Speciation of Introduced Herps
I think you must be mistaken on the NZ rat...New Zealand is not considered to have any native rodents, nor is a separate species recognized for the rats that live there. The only vertebrate example I can think of off the top of my head might be feral cats, which in Australia have been getting larger...

Re: Introduced Herps of Southern California
I have had friends capture African Clawed Frogs in San Diego County, so they are certainly there. I have personally seen Green Anoles in Balboa Park, but am not convinced they are an established population, and not simply occasional escapees from the San Diego Zoo, which uses them as feeders. I have...

Re: is flash photography a crime???
I know of birders who have been harassed by border patrol and homeland security, largely either along the Mexico Border or birding around bridges and dams. My guess is the driving along backroads at night slowly probably strikes people as more suspicious than a lot of birder activity, and that is why.
