Hawk eyes.

Looks like at least one made it out and about today also.

Two of em have fledged.
Two more to get their first flights.

Totally unfounded but I feel amphibians are a sign of a healthy backyard ecosystem

The 3rd one of 4 took a flight today.
Just one more and all will have flown.

Could have put this under Todays Ride. Couple rides over the weekend resulted in some bad results for Wildlife. Mama Turtle was laying eggs, rode by last night, the hole was dug up and many shells scattered about. Guessing a Racoon?
The next night I rode out and back and in the span of 15 minutes an Otter got hit crossing the highway.

Dang.
The otter may have been the culprit gulping the turtle eggs.
