I thought I'd head over to Beals Preserve this morning to check things out. It was in the high 50s, sunny and beautiful. I saw the Green Heron at Ice Pond, but it flew off and I never got a photograph. I also saw five Eastern Painted Turtles sunning themselves and lots and lots of frogs.
Down by the channel, I had a nice view of a Belted Kingfisher, several Northern Mockingbirds, a Gray Catbird and a House Wren.

a bit brighter light
Northern Mockingbirds
(There were three but I fumbled around with my camera, and one grew impatient.)

House Wren

And back at Ice Pond:
I think the one on the left may have a number on it from a survey earlier this summer.
Bronzed Cutworm Moth
Red-Tailed Hawk
a rotten stump with a lot of secrets
Coral Fungi
(How cool is that? Looks just like what you'd find on the ocean floor.)
