Despite your distance from them I like the first coot shot.. they need
other stuff going around and for them to be inaction mode to be
interesting :-) and the yellow flowered blanket shot makes me long to be
there.
Don't know much about turtles - Except I'm old enough to have had more
than one portion of turtle soup before it became a law not to. Though
after that mock turtle tasted ok . I guess it was the sherry.

We had not visited the John Heinz National Wildlife Refuge until Easter
weekend, even though it is a 20-minute drive from our house. It is noted for
the variety of waterfowl and other birds that stop over during migration season.
We started down one of the trails and came upon two glum-looking gentlemen
sitting on a bench, each with a DSLR, loooong lens, and camera backpack.
Apparently the waterfowl were behind schedule.
We continued on our walk, though, and indeed the fowl were sparse. We saw a
goose, a pair of coots, and ~lots~ of turtles.
Most of the turtles are red-ear turtles, which are an invasive species. Are
there any turtle mavens who can identify the one in the far left foreground?
The coots were barely within range of my FA 80-320 lens.
The woods were pleasant, though, and the walk was good.
