Sometimes being stuck is good
Date: Jul 29
Time: 10:17 AM
Location: 9.8 miles south of Ft. Davis, Jeff Davis County, TX
Site: In a rock crevice on a roadside cut in a bolder strewn hill.
Weather: Skies overcast with the wind from the SSE at 13 mph
Temperature: 81 F
Notes: Apparently this blue-throated fellow saw us coming and scurried to hide in the safety
of a crack in the rocks. Unable to get entirely in the shallow recess, enough of his body was
exposed for him to be carefully removed from his retreat without harming him. Any further inside
the crevice and he would have been able to inflate his body and wedge himself in so that he would
have been impossible to dislodge.
