While visiting the algae covered pond that has been so productive for me lately I heard a mysterious sucking sound coming from the water. Upon close observation I spotted this prehistoric looking head emerging from beneath the ooze...
It was a snapping turtle that appeared to be eating the algae from the surface.
After a short wait a green heron arrived and began fishing...
I moved to a small stream to see what was visible and spotted this great blue heron...
A beaver came swimming by...
and this muskrat kept partially hidden while eating tender plants...
A little later I encountered this doe and her fawns...
On the way home I came across this turkey and her poults in a mowed hay field...
What a day!!!! That second shot of the green heron is priceless.
