August 5, 2022: Purple Martins

The Purple Martin houses have been emptied as they prepare to migrate southward.  However, one can still find some congregating together in trees or circling above.  This group was found at Jensen Pond. (Wolf. Oesterreich, 8/9/22)

August 29, 2021: Snapping Turtles

At Jensen Pond, two Snapping Turtles appeared to be in conflict. They swirled around each other, with one trying to climb on top of the other.  After a few minutes they stopped, as if to "rest".  Then they started again.  This routine went on for a while and probably continued after I left the area. (Wolf. Oesterreich, 8/30/21)

August 9, 2021: House Wren

A family of 6 House Wrens was found in the woods at the NE corner of Jensen Pond.  This individual flew down close to me after I "pished". (Wolf. Oesterreich, 8/4/21)
