Dan and I headed over to the Horican Marsh (National and State refuge) just north of our house today to have a look around. Here are just a few pics. The only herps we saw were Painted Turtles. They seemed to be enjoying the nice sunny day, basking atop the duckweed.
Non-herp photos ;D
This big Doe was waiting to cross the road, she was a smart old girl. She looked and looked and watched each way before she made her way across the highway. She looks like she is about to drop a fawn any day now with that big udder of hers
Geese are abundant over there and families were everywhere.
This girl had a little runt in the bunch and she kept scolding it for trying to walk towards the Jeep. She was quite comical.
