Sasha trying to wake up at dawn
Mama Owl was giving me the tail while feeding The Lone Owlet this morning.

Snapping turtle on the irrigation ditch bank
When Jake and I went out for our afternoon walk, my neighbor, Sara, and a cyclist were pondering the snapping turtle on the irrigation ditch bank, headed away from the Clearwater ditch and river. Sara got an old horse feed bag, we got the snapping turtle in the sack, and I carried him to the river.
He was looking very dry, but still had a lot of snap in him.
He was still upset over being bagged and carried to the river, so he gave me a menacing look.

After he got into the river, he stretched out and soaked under sunset clouds.

Sasha looks like me when I am trying to get up out of bed!🤣🤣🤣
What huge eyes the turtle has! Jake looks like he wants to swim with the turtle ☺️
Sasha thinks I get up way too early. Jake was enjoying watching the turtle. Thanks, Beaky.
Hmm, snapping turtles are one of the few creatures I don’t mess with…they can reach back over their shell if they get pissed enough and they don’t let go. Got more gumption than I do Tim (went with the family friendly word ha). Is Spunk and Jake doing the if I can’t see em they aren’t here routine?
I picked him up from right behind his head. He kept striking, and he was really heavy for being on the smaller side of snappers in the ditch. It would have been a real struggle to carry him a 1,000 feet to the river like that. I was grateful for the sack. Another episode of Tim Dandy to the Rescue!
Spunk is playing that game. Jake was simply waiting for me to open the door for him. Thanks, Brian.
Look at that re Owlet… There again today. Now given everything else here, move over the Tracys of Inernational Rescue. Bring on Tim Price…
A gorgeous set of photos. How lovely of you and your neighbour to bring the turtle to the water. He mighta given you the stink eye, but deep down, appreciated your efforts!
Gorgeous skies and roses. The snapping turtle looks ornery!
