Missouri Skink

As I pulled up my parent's driveway this afternoon this large Skink ran and hid inside this concrete crack.  He would let me get about 2 feet away from him before he would retreat further down into the crack.  He stayed this way for about an hour.

I took these photos one evening driving home from work.  The clouds have been awesome here this month.

Baby Cat-birds and Wrens

The first photo is of hungry baby Cat-birds.  They remind me of my kids when I open the fridge or sneak M&M's.  The second pic is of 7 baby Carolina Wrens...wow 7 of them...poor mom.
