Another habitat shot.

Goat's Beard.

My newphew Max (age 11) has recently gotten into birdwatching. We went on a few "early morning strolls" and saw many cool birds, like this sleepy Common Nighthawk.

Several turtles were seen crossing the road as they searched for a place to lay their eggs. In each encounter we'd help them get to the other side - Common Snapping Turtle.

One place we visited loaned out nets and field guides. We liked this place. Emily caught a Bullfrog.

Sarah liked it.

The frog in question.

I got in the game and netting something. Here's Emily inspecting the catch.

A tiny Northern Water Snake.

My brother-in-law netted a dragonfly.

This dark Water Snake appeared to have no red pigment.
