This Common Snapping Turtle (Chelydra serpentine) was found in the middle of the road of the Mills Creek Apt. in Wilmington, NC. I drove by it while passing through the apartments and decided to stop and remove the turtle from the street. These turtles are commonly found in shallow freshwater muddy areas (eol.org). The Mills Creek Apartments have a small lake, stream, and ponds within them. I believe that this turtle emerged from one of those ecosystems and ended up in the street. The Common Snapping Turtles are also known to bask, however it is limited to their intolerance to high temperatures and rapid loss of moisture (eol.org). And as you can see from the photo this turtle was drying out from being trapped in the streets on a hot day. However I do not think basking is what lead this turtle into the street. I think the main factor responsible is the force that is most destructive to the field of ecology, humans. I believe the building of the apartments and roads has greatly disturbed the freshwater ecosystems around Mills Creek. The Common Snapping Turtle is know to make local migrations for purposes such as relocation (eol.org). I think in while in search for a better habitat, the turtle become stuck in the road. Thankfully no cars killed the turtle and I was able to safely remove the turtle from the road. However the turtle still faces the challenges brought by the significant impact of humans on its ecology and hopefully it will find a suitable place to live.

So I got a call from a friend that there was an injured baby owl at the theatre,and they wanted to know what kind and what to do,so I told them to put it in a box(to keep it dark and calm so as not to stress the bird) and I will be there in a few. It turns out it was a Common Poorwill,not an owl,and its an adult. It must have flown into a window and was stunned,but I could see no broken wings or any injuries. I took it home for the night,knowing all the rehabers were closed,and was going to take it in the morning,but was awakened at 7:00am by a thud,which was the bird trying to get out. So I took it to the park,opened the lid,and the bird flew away,seeming just fine. Stupid windows.

Birds are important part of the whole ecosystem we call nature in many ways. They pollinate flowers and disperse seeds, they are wonderful to watch and this world would not be the same without them. All creatures, plants, animals, birds, humans, insect, reptiles, and fish were put on this earth to interact with.
Let's be kind to the wildlife, let’s give a better world to our next generation, together.

Common Buzzard (Buteo buteo)
Have been seeing the local patch buzzards quite a lot lately. Close fly by today duing a sunny spell at lunch after a morning filled with rain.
We spotted this common loon on Bird Lake in the Superior National Forest in St. Louis County, Minnesota.

Common kingsnakes are banded, but I've seen them with brown and white, black and white, even a yellow(ish) and white. This mahogany and white banded kingsnake is one of the prettiest, and on the ground in oak woodlands, almost invisible unless you're looking for one. If you are searching them out, they ARE invisible.
Kingsnakes will eat eggs, birds, rodents, and other snakes including Western Rattlesnakes. (I have one photo which is both fascinating and mildly disturbing of a Kingsnake that attacked and then ingested a 4 foot Northern Gopher snake, a process which lasted 45 minutes. We couldn't watch, and we couldn't turn away. I have two opinions on whether to post it...
