Here is the killifish tank a few months after I set it up, notice there is not much moss yet. This is a photo I took of the right side tonight showing the moss and ferns. I took a little tree fern mount that once held my Bulbophyllum moniliforme (RIP) and mounted it to the cork to see what would grow from it. I was not disappointed and within a few weeks tropical mosses and ferns began to grow. You can see a little Hoya kanyakumariana, a few little Bulbophyllum pieces I stuck in there and a little Pleurothallis. There is a hideous black algae growing over the moss on the wet wall so I have turned the water lifter off and just mist every now and then in hopes that the algae will dry up. I wish I knew a good way to discourage algae because it can smother the moss which takes it's time to grow. I may try mounting more tree fern panels over the areas with algae because the tree fern never seems to get algae due to it's airiness. I may try to mount the Siginnias to the wall using some sphagnum moss or I may drill out a cavity in a piece of tree fern to make a pocket where I can add appropriate growing media. Here are the Nothobranchius guntheri that live in the water portion of the tank. These fish are annual African killifish that live in temporary pools during the wet season and breed like crazy, their eggs survive in the dry mud until the rains return. I am hoping to move these fish into another tank so that I can house my new Rivulus cf. ornatus in this tank where they will be able to develop into a small colony. These fish are all males, the females are plain brown and not as heavy bodied as the males. Mike

There have been alot of them here too. They make sort of a buzzing/raspy sound. A couple years ago, my son upon coming back from his run said there was a bird nest of some sort in the branch hanging by the bridge. I went down there and it was a nest of baby Blue Grays, and the mom and dad were around too. I got some pics. Here's one. I'm excited for you Cathy! Here is a link that might be useful:

Thanks! When I took these photos, migration was in full swing and the leaves hadn't even started turning yet. Now most of the leaves are gone and the migrants are gone. Birdky members still report them, but mostly south and west of us, usually near large bodies of water. Of course, now the winter birds are returning..saw a large flock of Fox Sparrows on Narnia Ridge this morning

Ah yes...Lined Snake heaven and full of all sorts of other surprises. That is one of my favorite herping places, but its so close to a metro area and I see so much evidence of irresponsible herping (i,e-not putting rocks back properly) there, that I am glad you haven't disclosed the specific location publically.
