1. Various critters and birds seen the end of September and beginning of October. A couple of Northern Mockingbirds, Eastern Wood Pewee, Monarch Butterfly, red-eared Slider Turtles.
2. A Northern Mockingbird enjoying the berries.
3. The Monarch butterflies were being seen as late as Oct 21st on our butterfly bush.
4. A lighter colored Northern Mockingbird on our Devil's Walking Stick.
5. From a walk on our local fire road to the lake, we were watching one Slider Turtle sitting on a log.
6. While watching the first larger turtle, a smaller baby turtle crawled out of the water onto the log with the larger turtle.
This is one of my shorter posts, next week I will share some critters and birds we saw during our latest getaway to the Letchworth State Park in New York. Thanks always for sharing your post and for all the nice comments.
PS, an added extra. Our cute grandson 8 month birthday, a pumpkin for Halloween. He didn't eat the candy, it was just a prop.
I am also linking up to Anni's blog party found here I'd Rather B Birding Anni always has some beautiful birds to be seen on her blog, check it out!

It is a strange year this year. Nature kind of upside down. Loved to see the photo of the turtle family. Maybe they know if they are related. :) Anyway it is sweet to see the photo.

Aww sweet grandbaby photo...love the fall berry birds, once a Mockingbird gets in the rest is history as they are pretty defensive of their stash. Hope you have a good weekend!! Trick or Treat.
ReplyDeleteThank you Sondra! I think the Mocker id give the other birds a chance at the berries.
DeleteHave a happy Halloween weekend!
That were great animal sightings again, dearest Eileen! I'm especially happy about the two turtles, they look very special with their red "ears" :-)
ReplyDeleteOh, and of course your adorable grandson won my heart straight away - such a handsome fellow and so cute as a pumpkin!
Today I have some critters for you again, including a very funny tame magpie :-)
Have a nice weekend and happy Halloween

I've never seen a small little turtle like you did. Somehow all the ones seem the same sizes when I run into them sunning. Loved seeing your birds, and butterfly too. Hope they've made it to Mexico by now. You have a precious photo of your precious grandson!
ReplyDeleteThank you Barbara!
