Turtle eggs, Canada Geese and another Great Blue Heron.

The first 3 photos are of 2 Snapping Turtle nests.

They have been raided, I think because I doubt that emerging turtles would come out a tunnel. So something dug the nests out.
On the other hand, the closeup of the empty eggs does not indicate something having fed upon them. No idea how long turtle gestation is but these nests were all laid down in June. Bit cool for hatching wot?
These were at Sheriff Creek
...

In and around Penelope Lake on Stanleigh Mine site.

Geese in an amphitheater.
and in the water.

Same lake and a Heron contemplating its reflection.While scratching its chin.
