Her beauty is more subtle than the one of the male but a beauty none the less especially when observed in a Summery Decor like this one (IMHO) :).
In a birdscape mood
The Common Raven is an acrobatic flier, often doing rolls and somersaults in the air. One bird was seen flying upside down for more than a half-mile. Young birds are fond of playing games with sticks, repeatedly dropping them, then diving to catch them in midair.
The pond/common slider (Trachemys scripta) is a species of common, medium-sized, semiaquatic turtle. Hatchling and juvenile pond sliders have a greenish upper shell (carapace), yellow bottom shell (plastron), and green and yellow stripes and markings on their skin. These patterns and colors in the skin and shell fade with age until the carapace is a muted olive green to orange brown or brown and the plastron is a dull yellow or darker.

By this time of day, the light was getting harsh, didn't make for the best shots. It was just cool to see the family growing and feeding right in front of us.

'SINGING OUT LOUD.'
Captured singing his heart out at the edge of an oilseed rape field in early summer. He was either very conspicuous, or skulking around in roadside vegetation.
BEST VIEWED LARGE.
One from the summer. Amazing to think they'll be south of the equator by now, not as far south as the Arctic Tern but still a fair mileage

The Common Nighthawk’s folk name is “goatsucker." This refers to the myth that this bird, with its large mouth, actually suckled goats.
Analyses of stomach contents have revealed a single bird eating upwards of 500 mosquitoes in a single day.
I've never been able to capture so clear a photo of a Common Merganser before. She was most cooperative. A couple more to come.
Thanks for Viewing.
