I was thinking this. I think that was a crow it had in its claws. It was bigger than I thought when it flew off.

Tiny Tim the turtle was excited to make the center fold. * The Water Lily leaf he’s on, is folding a little in the center. 
Even Wood Duck hens know that one must keep all of their ducks in a row.
How is it that I get to take so many wildlife shots? Well first one has to stop and
smell the flowers, as that helps. Some wild iris that were growing in a ditch along with cattails.
And then, more importantly, one needs one of these.
Nessie is following behind a very large painted turtle.
Nessie is huge. At least 3 feet long from tip to tip. She is a very large soft shelled
turtle and a good chance she is older than I am.

Hummers have been hanging around for extra long this year.
Wifey feeds them almost daily
We also have the notorious SuperFly hanging around all the time.
Here’s a graphic documentary on them…

When it’s hot we water the birds with a sprinkler pointed up into the trees. Friday we saw a Red Sholdered Hawk getting a bath.
Not a good picture but a beautiful bird
An indigo bunting flew by also. We see a few of those.

Wood duck hen with ducklings. She still has 11 of them.
30 + pounds of snapper can make short work of ducklings
