First meadowlark I've seen this season - they used to be very numerous and very common. (Photo by MikeHikes)

Saw a pair of adult javalinas at the northern end of Lanky Lackey. They were resting on the side of the trail but when they saw us, they got up and slowly wandered off. (Photo by MikeHikes)

Along the fence line in what was once the O.C. Fisher lake bed, some wag placed a glove on a fencepost. (Photo by MikeHikes)

Autumn is always a good time for photographs! Love the gold, red and orange colors. (Photo by MikeHikes)

Maybe not so little but they looked more juvenile than adult. Of course they spotted us first so I only have a picture of their rear as they wandered deeper into the thicket. (Photo by MikeHikes)

Have seen these in huge clusters in the North Shore section of the park. Don't know what they are but they photograph well! (Photo by MikeHikes)

A group that survived the latest genocide attempt by humans on the species Meleagris gallopavo during the month of November. (Photo by MikeHikes)

Just some of the scenery on the trail. (Photo by MikeHikes)

Just a nice view along Turkey Creek Trail looking South. (Photo by MikeHikes)

Although it may look like a meteor, it wasn't. The upper atmosphere was still and I watched as a jet left a contrail from one edge of the horizon to the other. (Photo by MikeHikes)

This was taken near Cougar Outlook in the middle of the park. (Photo by MikeHikes)

Was surprised to see this sunflower still in bloom and a moth sipping the nectar. (Photo by MikeHikes)

A few bee brush plants are blooming once again and the butterflies are enjoying them. I enjoy the vanilla scented blooms as well! (Photo by MikeHikes)

Came upon this road runner as he was hunting a tree lizard on the Lanky Lackey trail. The road runner went into the tree and the lizard was saved. (Photo by MikeHikes)

About 25-30 members of the Longhorn herd decided to rest on a portion of the Flintstone Trail. When I approached, they watched for awhile before eventually getting up and walking the trail in front of me, all the while depositing lots of fresh dung. (Photo by MikeHikes)

A nice picture taken awhile back while staying at the park. (Photo by MikeHikes)

First time I've seen one of these! I saw this one on the Turkey Creek Trail as I was heading back. Probably about two inches long - Note the ant caught on his leg (which were covered in hairs) (Photo by MikeHikes)

I'm aware of the feral hog problem in Texas but this is the first time I've seen feral hogs at the park. Photo taken at Cougar Overlook at 1:15 10/8/14. (Photo by MikeHikes)

I take my camera whenever I hike so when I spotted this tree and clouds, I had to take the shot - it just looked nice! (Photo by MikeHikes)

Best guess is a juvenile Broad-winged hawk. He was very leisurely flying overhead and at one point, he got into a small raptor's territory and the smaller bird chased him off! (Photo by MikeHikes)

Shady trail located on the north side of the park has this interesting tunnel effect in a small grove of trees. (Photo by rodavenport)

One of the prettier trails in the park. Make sure and catch it on the way by (Photo by rodavenport)

One of the better defined fossilized tracks. They are not nearly as clear and defined as the tracks at Dinosaur Valley SP. (Photo by rodavenport)
