Los detalles de este registro están en el libro "Relatos de Fogata". El gato entró en la noche a la casa del Sr. Samuel Covián, en la ranchería Rincón de Luisa. Fui a rescatarlo y, una vez dormido, la familia quiso una foto con él; un macho adulto de 6 kg.

Rattlesnakes (Genus Crotalus)Observer
colanegraDescription
Pretty sure this is a hybrid rattlesnake. I believe it is between Crotalus ornatus and Crotalus viridis as both occur in the area and this snake displays characteristics of both.

markeggerDescription
Rare but highly distinctive endemic of the understory of pine forests south of El Salto, Durango. This is a rarely documented species, but it should be looked for in this area of Durango. This observation is also documented with an herbarium collection, M. Egger 1287, WTU.

Organ Mountain Talussnail (Sonorella orientis)Observer
wanderingnaturalistDescription
This snail's shell is about 2 cm and was found in a large shady, semi-moist rocky canyon near a running spring in the Organ Mountains. The ability to withstand extreme dessication give the desert snails incredible recognition. Though I have yet to find a living snail in its shell in the desert.

I had been trying and failing to get some pic's of a Stellar's Jay for about 5 minutes in the shade of this same tree and had that "being watched" feeling. He was about 10 feet up the tree and never budged for the 10 minutes I was there

Mexican Tiger Moth (Apantesis proxima)Observer
moqaDescription
The caterpillar was found inside my home during a bad rain storm so I kept it safe indoors. It immediately started cocooning the next day, so I decide it to keep it safe indoors until it’s day of coming out. It was released as soon as it seemed to be able to walk without wobble.
