  • AN INTRODUCTION to Texas Turtles
    TEXAS PARKS AND WILDLIFE AN INTRODUCTION TO Texas Turtles Mark Klym An Introduction to Texas Turtles Turtle, tortoise or terrapin? Many people get confused by these terms, often using them interchangeably. Texas has a single species of tortoise, the Texas tortoise (Gopherus berlanderi) and a single species of terrapin, the diamondback terrapin (Malaclemys terrapin). All of the remaining 28 species of the order Testudines found in Texas are called “turtles,” although some like the box turtles (Terrapene spp.) are highly terrestrial others are found only in marine (saltwater) settings. In some countries such as Great Britain or Australia, these terms are very specific and relate to the habit or habitat of the animal; in North America they are denoted using these definitions. Turtle: an aquatic or semi-aquatic animal with webbed feet. Tortoise: a terrestrial animal with clubbed feet, domed shell and generally inhabiting warmer regions. Whatever we call them, these animals are a unique tie to a period of earth’s history all but lost in the living world. Turtles are some of the oldest reptilian species on the earth, virtually unchanged in 200 million years or more! These slow-moving, tooth­ less, egg-laying creatures date back to the dinosaurs and still retain traits they used An Introduction to Texas Turtles | 1 to survive then. Although many turtles spend most of their lives in water, they are air-breathing animals and must come to the surface to breathe. If they spend all this time in water, why do we see them on logs, rocks and the shoreline so often? Unlike birds and mammals, turtles are ectothermic, or cold- blooded, meaning they rely on the temperature around them to regulate their body temperature.

  • Iran & Caddo Lake
    Iran and the Caddo Lake Connection Have you ever heard of the connection between Caddo Lake and Iran? The country of Iran is featured quite often in present day news stories but its relation to Caddo Lake is seldom, if ever, mentioned. Caddo Lake is a fine place for humans to visit who seek solitude and an almost primeval exposure to nature. After Caddo Lake you will recognize the area Henry Wadsworth Longfellow was describing in Evangeline -- Caddo Lake IS “the forest primeval”. Caddo Lake supports awe inspiring stands of bald cypress trees and lush aquatic vegetation. The Spanish moss hangs on the trees like the grey beards of ancient old men giving further testimony to the lengthy pedigree of this Caddo Lake real estate. There are numerous winding sloughs and watery fingers, a landscape reminisce of Georgia’s Okefenoffe and the Florida Everglades. The water in Caddo Lake is the color of tea. A condition caused by the tannic acid leached from the leaves and other vegetation that fall into the lake. Beneath the waters surface lives what might be considered an aquatic dinosaur. It is a fish whose genealogy extends back to those times. It is known by a variety of common names; grindle, dogfish and lawyer. The first coming from an ichthyologist with a creative mind, the second from what the fish is like to eat and the last from the way it behaves when hauled in at the end of a fishing line. When landed they come at you snapping their jaws as voraciously as a trial lawyer making closing remarks to a jury about a client who he knows is as guilty as sin! This fish has been able to survive in this backwater area of East Texas because of the remoteness and inaccessibility of the area.

  • Obviously Real Wrecks Because-They Were Identified in the Process of Removal
    Historic Watercraft, Shreveport to Daingerfield obviously real wrecks because-they were identified in the process of removal. The Albany and Lessie are reliable because the information was derived from the U. S. Customs Service for the Port of New Orleans. However, it is surprising that the Lessie B, which caught fire 15 miles below Jefferson, is not mentioned in the Corps' annual reports concerning improvements to Cypress Bayou. Since project work was suspended in 1880 and did not resume until 1884, it appears that the wreck was quickly removed by its owners. If it had been in place in 1884, it would have been cited as a navigation hazard and removed as part of the ongoing work effort. Of the listed wrecks, it is probable that most were not part of the Jefferson trade, but rather were on the western route around the raft, which duplicated the Jefferson route through Soda Lake. This was definitely the case with the Cotton Plant, which was an upriver packet. The only vessels that definitely were going towards or away from Jefferson were the Albany (which was moving from Shreveport to Albany), the Lessie B. (which was moving from Jefferson to Shreveport), and the Mittie Stephens (which was moving from Shreveport to Jefferson). Whatever their destination, the distribution of these wrecks along the route west of Shreveport shows the relative difficulty in navigating various portions of the route to Jefferson. Contrary to popular conceptions, the portion of the route from the foot of Caddo Lake to Jefferson seems to have been extremely safe. Only two steamboats (Mittie Stephens and Lessie B.) were wrecked along this portion of the route, and both were by fire rather than by snags or other navigation hazards.

  • Caddo Lake Wildlife Management Area Spring Turkey Hunts
    Caddo Lake Wildlife Management Area Spring Turkey Hunts Background The Caddo Lake Wildlife Management Area (WMA) is located in Marion and Harrison counties approximately 20 miles northeast of Marshall and 15 miles east of Jefferson. The WMA consists of 8,128 acres of a permanently flooded bald cypress swamp, seasonally flooded bottomland hardwoods and upland mixed pine hardwood forests. The climate within the WMA is relatively mild with hot and humid summers and mild winters. Mean annual precipitation is 67 inches, with periods of heaviest precipitation occurring in April and May. Water levels usually range from 165 - 172 feet. We suggest you check local water levels and projected weather forecasts for your hunt period prior to arrival and come prepared. All hunters are encouraged to bring a GPS unit or a compass. A primitive campsite is available at the end of County Road 3414 on the Caddo Lake WMA; offers no water, electricity or toilet facilities. Other lodging can be found at Caddo Lake State Park (903) 679-3351 and in Marshall and Jefferson. Hunting Information List of hunting Rules and Regulations: 1. All hunters must have a valid Texas Hunting License, an Upland Game Bird Stamp Endorsement (not required of hunters under 17 years of age, holders of Lifetime Resident Combination or Lifetime Resident Hunting licenses) and their drawn permit or stand-by permit on their person at all times. Harvested turkeys must be immediately brought to the check station as soon as they are field dressed. Only Eastern Wild Turkey may be legally harvested. It is prohibited to harvest a gobbler from the roost.
