Camera Critters

Painted Turtles at the State Park ...

This used to be a great spot for bird pictures.  I saw my first Green Heron here, but today there were no birds, just turtles.  I had to climb through a thicket of Hawthorn bushes to get to it ... yes, thorns and all.  It's disappointing that they can't make an effort to keep the Hawthorn under control. It
is a nonnative invasive plant that is very destructive to a native ecosystem.
