On Saturday, October 18, Wildlife Rescue released 22 young (first year) White-tailed Deer at our Yegua Knobbs Preserve. There were 12 does and 10 bucks. All were tagged with a number (and their name): the bucks were tagged in the right ear, and the does were tagged in the left ear. Along with the deer four young skunks were also released. The Wildlife Rescue personnel involved were Preston and Sandy Doughty and Hayley McCardle. Here are some photos of the release.

Bastrop County Audubon Society (BCAS) has donated and arranged for the installation of a sign depicting the "common birds" of PPLT's Colorado River Refuge (CRR). The sign was produced by Amazing Signs of Smithville and Bastrop based on a design by Alan Jaeger. The art is courtesy of and copyright by Margie Crisp. It was installed by Van Vuren Custom Work of Bastrop. It is located below the main parking lot of the CRR.
