Prothonotary Warbler (Protonotaria citrea)Observer
ckhuntDescription
For my first-ever sighting of a Prothonotary Warbler, (not so common around here), I'd have preferred a more-natural setting than him perched on the windshield of my truck, apparently attracted to Vermont's yellow inspection sticker, but sometimes one doesn't get a choice.

Recently, this long-tailled weasel has been "dining out" under the wood/lumber pile next to my house. Smart guy/gal!

Long-eared Owl (Asio otus)Observer

Long-eared Owl
Two crows called me over, then moved a couple hundred feet away to the ground and quietly foraged.
I couldn't find the crows' concern at first, expecting a fox, but encountered the owl behind a pine trunk.
Four Blue Jays followed me; the jays hopped around silently inspecting the owl, while I hurriedly snapped photos; then I quickly retreated.

Spiny Softshell (Apalone spinifera)Observer
cgbb2004Description
All photos taken from outside the restricted area.
I believe all photos show the same Spiny Softshell Turtle and most photos also include a Map Turtle. They changed sunning rocks during the time I watched. In photo #3 just the head of the Map Turtle shows above the water at the upper right.

Cardinal getting territorial with itself in this mirror. It was doing the same thing last week too. It spends a not-insignificant amount of time battling itself.

Not certain, but suspect this is the same SFS that has been visiting off/on since Nov. 2018
