Very tiny caterpillar my son pointed out to me. You can see the scale to my fingers underneath the leaf.
I think this is a Pine Warbler but correct me if I'm wrong.
I'm fairly certain this is a Pewee but correct me if I'm wrong
My second official observation of A Red-Shouldered Hawk. You can see in the one photo there are actually two here. I couldn't get a clear photo of the two together and was only able to get these couple shots before they flew away.
This was the day the fish elevator at this dam was being prepared for a period of non-use until the winter. They ran it this one last time to test some equipment and I was able to see their catch before they dumped them back into the Susquehanna below. Here's a Striper.
I come here every year to see the babies. Here's one of the latest.
I would guess that I saw about 6-8 individuals during my time here. More great shots I was able to get though.

They're always here and lots of em. Just got some cool pics and figured I might as well post em!

I can't be certain by this photo though. I made this post in case someone sees something they can identify that I didn't already. I think I see a muskee in the one picture but I can't figure it out for sure.
again tons of these here all year long, just loved the photos I get here!

I checked ID Please not because I wasn't sure what kind of Deer this was, but because I was curious as to what was causing the odd secretions on this Doe's face. You can see in the shot showing her belly that she has recently been nursing a Fawn at some point. There looks to be an excessive amount of Ticks around her face if that could be part of the problem. Maybe there's a disease that it has in which case I'd love to know more about it. Thanks!
This one was really driving me crazy to try and identify. I might just not have enough quality photo data here to get an ID. This place is called "Beaver Marsh Pond". You can see that it's fairly land-locked. There are two large Beaver Lodges that my wife and I sat and watched at Dusk. It was very distant from where you can stand on the trail so it was very difficult to get these shots, even at 400mm with a 1.4 extender. I left the Heron in the shots for some to show the scale of the turtle. The carapace being notched in the back confuses me. You can also see a hint of Red in some places near the inside of the shell too. It appeared like this turtle was doing some digging perhaps to lay eggs? Would love some help on this one.
