This Summer Tanager was having a hard time shaking off the rain this afternoon. I watched her through my kitchen window until the rain slowed down, and off she went.
The female loggerhead was stuck upside down in the rocks, and rescuers from the FWC and Nature Conservancy managed to lift the sea turtle out of the rocks so it could continue on its way.

The Gator makes a big splash entering the water on a dark and gloomy day. (Of course, Alligators are almost entirely freshwater creatures, but I didn't name it, and if you look closely it definitely doesn't look like a croc...)
When the water is much too rough to go in, you have to settle for exploring the rock features, nooks and crannies along the coastline.

Each summer, up to 80% of the world's population of Semipalmated Sandpipers (Calidris pusilla) arrive in the upper Bay of Fundy from their breeding grounds in the Arctic. The extreme tides of the bay expose mudflats which extend for 3 or 4 Km and are the habitat of mud shrimp (Chorophium volutator). These shorebirds feed on mud shrimp at low tide and, in the 10 to 15 days spent here, they double their weight in fat reserves in order to complete a nonstop 72 hour flight to South America. At high tide, they roost at the water's edge. Other shorebird species are also found in these huge flocks.
This photo shows the birds advancing across the mudflats with the receding tide. For a fascinating account of the origin of mud shrimp in the Bay of Fundy and the Gulf of Maine, please see the following CBC Radio link:

The Nature Conservancy hosts a group of roughly 30 visitors for a vernal pool hike at Forest Pools Preserve, adjacent to Kings Gap State Park in Cumberland County, Pa., on March 25, 2016. Because vernal pools, or seasonal wetlands, dry up every year, they don't harbor fish and thus are critical habitat for many amphibian species. (Photo by Will Parson/Chesapeake Bay Program)

In this area, pockets of agriculture border the protected lands of the Nature Conservancy and Bethlehem Water Authority. Agriculture is rare on the high, windswept Pocono Plateau; the soil, filled with glacial till, is infertile across most of the region.
“Clone” of Aspens, or a bunch of birch? I think these trees are Betula papyrifera, or white birch.

Toson Hulstai Nature Reserve was established in 1998 and protects 4,700 square kilometres of dry steppe ecosystem spread across Khentii and Dornod provinces in eastern Mongolia. Key conservation goals include providing suitable habitat for 50,000 gazelle, doubling the number of active marmot colonies and establishing a viable wolf population.
When we arrived in Hulstai we were met by Amar. For two days he stayed with our group, leading us across the land he protects. In the background is one of the reserve’s few springs, fenced off to keep trampling livestock away from the delicate source point.
Amar is wearing a Nature Conservancy hat, fitting as the reserve is receiving important support from the organization.

G was fascinated by the Arizona Sister butterfly that he found. And in awe that it sat so peacefully on his fingers...
Then it pooped on his hand.
He was completely grossed out.
And, mad at me for laughing and taking a picture.

When I visited the Green Swamp in early June, I saw Venus Flytrap (Dionaea muscipula) in bloom. The chiggers were also quite active, a problem that I did not experience when I visited in early May. The Green Swamp is located near Wilmington, North Carolina.
