The next day I took a drive to the Mississippia River. Along the way, I checked out this roadside pond.

Turtle Island (mostly Red-ear Sliders).

Yellowbelly Water Snake.

Midland Painted Turtle.

A Great Blue Heron/Turtle combo.

This ditch that I came across later didn't look like much, but it had herps too.

A huge Midland Water Snake.

Red-ear Slider.

Eventually I made it to the river.

Painted Lady.

Spotted Salamander.

Turkey Vultures.

A late night Leopard Frog seen on the way back.
