There's a cove that attracts snapping turtles around this time of the year for mating and making a meal out of all the hatching ducklings. Fortunately, this mom kept her babies safe.

The female Mute Swan disappeared quite some time ago. I was hoping that this was the reason, but it had been so long that I was starting to worry. Fortunately, it was for good reason. #nature #birds #swan #muteswan

I keep finding the same juvenile Cooper's Hawk. Today, it seemed to get spooked and starts calling frantically. Fortunately, I found it again later in my walk and it was calm. 0:00 - Just chillin 0:50 - Spooked 2:51 - Chillin again #nature #birds #bird #hawk #coopershawk

Every year my town stocks a local river with Brown Trout as part of a river cleanup program. Every year, otters and birds of prey gorge themselves on said trout. It boggles my mind how they know. The river was stocked yesterday. Chapters: Fishing - 0:00 Eating - 1:55 #nature #otter

This male Mute Swan seems to swim over to say hi every time I see him on his river. He got very close today and was calling for his lady. I think he just wanted some company. Chapters: Day 1 - 0:00 Day 2 - 1:28 Day 3 - 4:01 Calls - 5:12 #nature #birds #bird #swan #muteswan

Four River Otters have taken a liking to a stretch of the river that I frequently walk. They're very smart; they saw me from about 75 - 100 feet away, but I stayed very still and they appeared to try to sneak by. #otter #nature

Some Eastern Tiger Swallowtails were feeding on the nectar of this Butterfly Bush (Buddleja japonica). Amazingly, teas, tinctures, and compresses of the leaves, flowers, and roots have shown to be effective for eye care, inflammation, and skincare.

A Woodchuck let me get closer than I've ever managed to get. Typically, they bolt as soon as they see you. Woodchucks are also known as groundhogs, whistlepigs, and more. Aside from predicting the weather, they are marmots, can live up to 14 years, hibernate through the winter, and can climb trees.
