Turtles have their heads barely out of the water, holding their mouths open, waiting for a meal to come close enough to snatch.




Gorgeous photos! Thank you!
You are welcome, Liesl. Thanks for dropping by.
And owlette wowlets… A lot of lovely pics actually.
Thanks, Shey. The one wowlet is being a bit rebellious.
The kid’s got style…
As always a varied collection of beautiful photographs and animals. Another great post, Tim!
Thanks, Herman. The cats are a little miffed that there are so many critters taking up space on the latest posts.
This blog post must have been very challenging and demanding for the cats…
Thanks for the nature walk, Tim. Love the owlets.
You are welcome, Jane. Lots of critters are coming out for spring. Thanks for dropping by.
I love all the birds! That blue grosbeak is a stunner.
He’s a pretty boy. I was surprised by the Hepatic Tanager. Thanks, Liz.
You’re welcome, Tim.
Those eyes on Daddy Owl!!!💕
Eye! Eye! Thanks, Cindy.
hahaha❣️
This collection is fun Tim, and reminds me of the show Wild Kingdom!
Thanks, Brad.
Awww, I love the owlets. The other birds are also amazing.
Thanks, Robbie.

Such beautiful colors and critters…………………….!
Pam
Thanks, Pam.
Amazing, all the beings you get to see everyday. Incredible.
So many critters. Thanks, Gigi.
So many. You’re fortunate for sure. You live in the right place.
What a stupendous gallery, Tim! Such a fabulous variety.
Lots of critters out and about. Thanks, Dale.
Nice tin on the hepatic. The females in the tanager family got slighted in their color allocations for sure, but still a fun bird. Are two turtles in the muck worth more than 5 bumps on a log?
If the two turtles get a hold of you, you certainly think five bumps on a log, or five bumps from a log are better deals. There was a red tanager in the leaves above the female that I could not get a clear shot of. No idea if it was a flamer. Thanks, Brian.
I saw that the Rio Grande is drying up. Is that true?
Those are beautiful wildlife photos from the riverside and bosque, Tim. I hope little owl outside the nest is staying warm enough at night, and keeping well. The two snapping turtles in the mud puddle are interesting.
It seems to be staying warm. They are both outside the nest now. Thanks, Lavinia.
Beautiful shots Tim, and colourful birds.
Why was one owlet out of nest? xx
I can’t say why the large owlet left the nest. Could be it didn’t like its little brother. Anyway, that turned out to be bad news for the little brother. Thanks, Resa.
Great photos Tim … !
Thanks, Julie.
