On 2 April 2006 Jonathan Lu, Jingjing Zhang, Jeff Sun, Jenna Lee, and Barry Sullender went to Brazos Bend State Park (Google Earth required to see location) ostensibly to check out the lichen flora. Like a lot of people at the park that day, we got sidetracked watching alligators devour one of their own.

Other notables seen that day... "sweet, sweet, sweet" Prothonotary Warbler, American Bittern, and plant favorites the Swamp Privet and the anachronistic Honey Locust.
