San Angelo State Park Photos

Looks like a winter visitor is back! (Photo by MikeHikes)

A good percentage of this trail is rocky with loose soil. (Photo by MikeHikes)

Although not in this photo, I saw an Axis deer with the whitetail deer family above. (Photo by MikeHikes)

Catching some rays at Burkett Park before we started our hike. Saw a couple more Loggerheads while hiking but no good photos. (Photo by MikeHikes)

The tail is in sharp focus and the head is slightly blurry but if you can follow the tail, you'll see it is a Ringneck Snake. It was extremely thin and 4-5 inches long. (Photo by MikeHikes)

It's already the end of August and I'm sure this will be the last fruit the cactus will produce for this season. (Photo by MikeHikes)

This fox was enjoying the morning sun near Roller coaster Trail. I got his photo and when I went a little close, he decided it was time to leave. (Photo by MikeHikes)

Saw quite a few of these spiders at various places while on today's hike. (Photo by MikeHikes)

This grey fox ran into the bushes and watched as I tried to get his picture, after about ten seconds, he went deeper in and I lost sight of him. This was the best of the bunch. (Photo by MikeHikes)

Near the end of the East Potts Creek Trail, this horned toad sat in the middle of the trail. I got the photo and because he was small (about the size of my thumb), I made him get off the trail and scamper to safety in the surrounding brush. (Photo by MikeHikes)

Another trail user. He saw me coming, courteously stopped so I could take his photo, then departed in no particular hurry. (Photo by MikeHikes)

The wasp and Black Widow fought and the wasp was the winner - Nature is not always kind. (Photo by MikeHikes)

No injuries observed! When I readied to get a photo, he saw me and tucked a little deeper into the grass, but was still easy to see. After I snapped the shot, he took off ....... like a Jack Rabbit! (Photo by MikeHikes)

Lots of songs came from him as he sought a mate. (Photo by MikeHikes)

The "second of the year" Horned Toad I saw; he was just off Tasajilla Flats at the beginning of the hike. He didn't move fast so always watch where you step. (Photo by MikeHikes)

An active little guy who scampered off the trail but kindly paused long enough for me to get a photo. (Photo by MikeHikes)

Most of Tasajilla Flats Trail is overgrown due to the recent rains. Caution is advised where you place your feet! (Photo by MikeHikes)

Don't know what kind of butterfly this is but it made for a nice picture! (Photo by MikeHikes)

Commonly seen in the past, rarely seen in the present - the Cottontail Rabbit. (Photo by MikeHikes)

Rain from the day before and a cold front this morning, helped produce mist above the Reservoir. (Photo by MikeHikes)

The Scissortail seemed content to listen to the male Pyrrhuloxia sing for a mate. (Photo by MikeHikes)

These Toms were strutting their stuff but I saw no hens - I guess they were just practicing their moves. (Photo by MikeHikes)

I've been informed bees do this when they move to a new hive. These were seen on a mesquite tree a few feet from the trail I hiked on. (Photo by MikeHikes)

Found these three juvenile raccoons, huddled together and very scared, in an empty park dumpster. Put a big branch in and went on my hike since I couldn't coax them out. When I finished my hike, I was happy to discover they had vacated. (Photo by MikeHikes)
