The turtle is looking directly at me where I stand on the shore. Still, it seems largely unconcerned about my presence. I'm about 20 feet away and there's water between us. Smart turtle.

Baltimore Orioles are not commonly seen in our yard, so I was delighted to see this one gracing our hawthorn tree, even for a quick visit.

Red-winged blackbirds love to stand on tall skinny objects like these cattails on Farm Pond.

This one found a different perch to survey the situation on the pond.
