Official Turtle Inspector. (family dog)

      The turtle had been ambling along a gravel roadway looking for new ponds to inhabit. In full,hot sun.

No Animals were harmed in the making of this photo :>)

This is a Common Merganser touching down followed by 2 of them doing the under-the-surface fish search.

This is a Caspian Tern making a "Strike"

And flying off with its catch.

But it was being watched and hassled by 4 Ring-billed Gulls and forced to drop it.
The second Tern appears to be complaining loudly while the Gull squawks as well.

and lastly, Hooded Mergansers
