A box turtle gives me the side-eye after I moved him to safety yesterday in Chatham County. This was the second box turtle I rescued yesterday (plus one pissed off praying mantis). Box turtles are on the move to their winter grounds, so please look out for them.

I saw this bird last month at Fort Macon in North Carolina. I think it's a female painted bunting, but she appears to be missing her tail feathers. #birds

I’ve had the same problem the past few years. I was so happy to actually see one this week.

A northern parula in High Point, N.C. Almost didn't get this posted because autocorrect called it a parolee. #birds

A couple parking lot plovers earlier this month at Fort Macon in North Carolina. The one on the left is a semipalmated plover; the other is black-bellied. #birds

A barred owl eating a crayfish last week at a park in Durham, N.C. Red-swamp crayfish are an invasive species here, but the owls, hawks and herons don't seem to mind. #birds

The one I have trouble with in North Carolina is the hairy woodpecker. Compared to that, the red-cockaded was easy.

This is probably my favorite butterfly -- a blue skipper. I saw several last week at Fort Macon.
