red bird update

Yesterday on my lunchtime walk moi saw America's only truly red bird, the Summer Tanager along with a Baltimore, or Eastern Oriole, a tufted titmouse, and a bard owl. Also observed were a leopard frog, a menage a trois of northern ring-necked snakes, and a very stubborn snapping turtle who was not in the least intimated by colleague, Mr. H., nor should he be. Who knows what we didn't see, but it was a fine walk to see everyone out and about on a robust spring day.
