Muscovy duck which walked up to me in the grass at Robius Landing. Remarkably unafraid of humans.

Fair-sized adult snake sunning itself with its head out of its burrow. Immediately scrambled backwards upon seeing me. This was the best photo I got.

Tartaruga-Almiscarada (Sternotherus odoratus)Observador
vclarkeDescrição
Dead musk turtle on side of road. Found on its back with a shattered shell. Died sometime within the last few hours, as it was not there when I walked by a few hours before. Likely hit by a car or dropped by a bird of prey. Whichever killed it, the body was gone only a couple hours later, taken by some hungry animal.
The folks at the Virginia Herpetological Society helped me identify this species.

Tried to pick it up to help it across the road -- and it nipped me, so I just stood back and watched it go past.

Silhouetted against the sky, the wings (which I observed) are sadly not visible. However, I do have an audio recording of its song, which should help.

Barred owl sitting in a redcedar tree. Managed to get these pics with the flash on. Flew away as I moved around for a closer look -- didn't manage to get a good shot of it as it flew.
