Wonderful Week Plus a Lifer

 May 17-22, 2021

I saw some nice variety of birds and wildlife this week. We had some very hot weather in the 30c range.  I do my birding in the mornings in this weather.

American Goldfinch

Wild Turkey

I saw my first Black Swallowtail of the year.  Beautiful.

I found this tiny Painted Turtle (2") long on a main pathway.  I was afraid it might get hurt and it was far from water.  So I carried the turtle to the edge of the pond so it will be safe.  I put it on a reed stem at the water edge, so it can go into the water when it is ready.




This sandpiper is a lifer.  It was quite far away on the mudflats.
