+Team Gecko Posted April 6, 2007 Author Share Posted April 6, 2007 Happened upon this encounter today while hiking near Loveland Reservoir. As I passed a small bush at the left edge of the trail I heard a rustling noise and then two or three shrieking squeaks. I stopped and looked through the branches and leaves of the bush and saw coloration that made me think of a small hawk. Once I moved around the bush and poked the branches back I saw that a juvenile snake had grabbed a large woodrat or perhaps a gopher just as I passed by. The critter was still struggling to no avail. The ruckus made by the critter made me think that it had been struck by a rattler. However, John of John & Jess points out that it was probably a gopher snake. Duh on me, but I wasn't about to stick my hand into that bush to check for markings. Photography is a wonderful thing. Thanks John, Harmon Definitely a special moment, Harmon. As you know, gopher snakes (Pituophis melanocleus) are constrictors and you have captured their specialty. Rodents are their main fare, as this poor individual discovered too late. Thanks for sharing. -GD Quote Link to comment
+Miragee Posted April 6, 2007 Share Posted April 6, 2007 I agree that picture is incredible! During an awsome hike on Gaskill Peak the other day to get a couple of new caches placed by CTYankee including, "Don't Know How, But Here I Be!," this guy was pestering me for a while. He was almost an inch long and when he landed, he started to burrow into the ground. Quote Link to comment

Thanks for sharing. -GD Don, your critters thread sure has turned out to be special. Thinking back on my gopher-snake moment I realized that had I been two or three steps further along the trail that afternoon my footfall might have caused the rodent to scurry away just before being attacked by the snake. From that realization I conclude that the extra time I spent looking for the toughest cache hide that day was the cause of death for the poor rodent. I suppose I shouldn't mention the Geocacher's name that owned the challenging hide that lead to my delay along the trail that lead to the gruesome death of a defenseless and now deceased rodent ... but his initials are FisnJack, the heartless rodent-killer that we all know and love. Hi FisnJack, just kidding of course ... probably was a mother rodent with a nest of cute little babies to raise, all now starved to death. So sad you cad.

+Team Gecko Posted April 7, 2007 Author Share Posted April 7, 2007 (edited) After seeing Harmon's gopher snake/woodrat encounter and Miragee's fine shots of the horned lizard, I realized I have fallen way behind in posting shots from cache critter encounters locally and afar. No excuses other than seeming lack of time to write up my cache logs. For starters, I will try to make amends with a series on birds I saw while caching during evenings and over a weekend while on a two-week trip to North Island, New Zealand on Navy business last month. -GD Saturday, 10 March 2007 While on a hike/run on Rangitoto Island, I followed an infrequently taken side route called "Wilsons Park" to reach the summit crater. Along the way, I visited Island Rock hidden in the lava. A few hundred yards farther up the "track" as they call hiking trails, this small North Island Fantail (also known as Piwikawaka) found me and fluttered all around me, within inches at times. It was quite a challenge to trick my pocket camera into autofocusing correctly as it went to and fro from branches to the ground to other branches to right behind my shoulder to right in front of my face, sometimes bumping me with its wing tips. Apparently these prolific insect catchers take advantage of any disturbance that brings the bugs into the air. North Island Fantail (Rhipidura fujliginosa pacabilis) After a half hour of experiencing this behavior, I continued up the trail, a pair of fantails again found me and repeated the same behaviors. Here is one of them who momentarily paused on a branch. Edited April 7, 2007 by Team Gecko Quote Link to comment
+Team Gecko Posted April 7, 2007 Author Share Posted April 7, 2007 Saturday, 10 March 2007 Here is another native New Zealand bird called the Tui that I saw a short distance up the Wilsons Park track after Island Rock and before encountering the first Fantail. Along the way I heard other Tuis calling from trees but I was only able to spot this one. It was perched about 30 feet off the ground in a tree. The sun was behind it but fortunately clouds were passing over, allowing this shot. -GD Tui (Prosthermadera novaeseelandiae) Quote Link to comment
+Team Gecko Posted April 7, 2007 Author Share Posted April 7, 2007 Saturday, 10 March 2007 This Pied Shag or Krauhiruhi was sighted near Issy Bay Crossroads, the third Rangitoto Island cache I visited while running the eastern tracks of the island. Pied Shag There are only three caches on the island and I fortunate to be able to log each of them over the span of a 10-mile trek. The second is perched right inside the rim of Rangitoto Crater. The Issy Bay cache is typically visited by boaters who spend a night or two in beautiful Islington Bay. The Pied Shag is one of four endemic cormorant species in New Zealand. This one was seen along my run on the Coastal Track, a shoe shredding trail if there ever was one. The eastern end of the track is only a couple of feet wide of A'a lava that went up and down and slaloms as it passes through alternating jungle-like rain forest (with occassional tree roots to jump over) and open lava fields featuring views across the aquamarine waters of the Motokorea Channel. This stretch took over an hour of running and led me back to the Rangitoto Ferry wharf with 30 minutes to spare for catching the last ferry of the day back to Auckland. Since there is no lodging or even drinking water on the island, it would have been a long, dry night. -GD Quote Link to comment
+Team Gecko Posted April 7, 2007 Author Share Posted April 7, 2007 Sunday, 11 March 2007 I had two off days during the New Zealand trip. On Sunday, I talked fellow Navy traveler Terry into using his rental car to do some hiking and exploring of the Waitakere Ranges Regional Park on the coast just west of Auckland. I found a round about way to hike to KatiCache via a track that passes below lovely Kitekite Falls and then, for the adventurous, offers an alternate route that climbs up and around the falls. Along the way we heard but did not see cicadas, except for this one hanging on the side of a creekside sapling under the tree fern canopy.

+Team Gecko Posted April 12, 2007 Author Share Posted April 12, 2007 Saturday, 17 March 2007 I encountered this unusual and colorful native bird called a Pukeko. Upon my arrival at the International Terminal for the return flight home, I learned my flight would be delayed a couple of hours. That left me enough time to go on a two-mile walkabout after I was all checked in. I managed to find a couple of caches, the second of which was Goodbye Land of the Long White Cloud. I first saw a trio of these funny looking critters at a distance foraging in an open field. They took off and flew, looking a bit like ungainly pheasants. Then I saw the same threesome later, closer to this cache, and saw their eclectic coloring. While I was seated making my logbook entry, this one approached and tried to sneak behind me without being noticed. Fortunately, I turned around just at the right moment and managed to catch this shot. Later, in the airport, I discovered Pukekos featured on a variety of souvenirs, including mugs, saucers, tiles, tote bags, etc. Apparently they are a particularly popular icon to New Zealanders. -GD Pukeko (Porphyrio porphyrio) Pukeko in the bush Quote Link to comment

+SD Rowdies Posted April 12, 2007 Share Posted April 12, 2007 (edited) The second picture looks like a Sphinx Moth caterpillar? Maybe one of the many forms of Catalpa caterpillars as in Catalpa Sphinx. Not sure but the nearest I can find was at the following link. Catalpa worms So far can't find an exact match in the usual photo galleries but the link is pretty close. In the southeast Catalpa trees are called fishbait trees because of the readily available Catalpa caterpillars prized for lake and stream fishing. In the deep south one conserves syllables so pronunciation would become "'talpa tree." Brings the question "Y'all want fries with tha-ut?" If it is a Catalpa caterpillar it suggests that there are Catalpa trees in Horsethief Canyon. That needs to be looked into I should think. Sounds like a job for FisnJack.
