Going for a walk not far from our house we found a large tree down on city property. It was no surprise that we found interesting critters on it. I think that the spider is a Tuberculated crab spider. The beetle is a Red-banded fungus beetle. We then walked to the wetlands by Skyline High School where we we serenaded by frogs.
At the more wooded pond all of the sounds were of Wood frogs, like the one I photographed there. The other pond had both Wood frogs and Spring peepers.
After disposing of a squirrel that was hit by a car close to home, we were quickly visited by a member of natures cleaning crew – a Turkey Vulture.
More tomorrow…
