Saw this turtle on the edge of the main road after running a mile, so I ran back to get a camera and shot it.
I think it is a red ear slider.

A few weeks ago a lot of these frogs hatched out near the main tank and were crawling all over the road. It's on my porch tile where I carried back home in my hand to get a picture. It's tiny, about 1/2 inch long.

Turkeys honk! Several times lately I've been close enough to turkeys with young to hear them honk like a duck. It is so odd. I think it is a warning. It is much more common to hear gobbling sounds, so I first thought I was hearing some kind of duck, but I've seen that it was turkeys a few times now. These did not honk but the picture is interesting and sharply focused on the stump for some reason.


One of the pictures I took on a birding walk led by Pat Merkord with other SR residents.
