I came across this girl while trout fishing. Later, I saw her tumble down the bank and back into the stream after she finished laying her eggs. #turtle #snappingturtle #herpetology

What walking a Corgi is like...

A big factor for me will be the price of games. Steam has some great sales and there are always good but cheap games available.

Philadelphia has some pretty cool churches at University City.

Just rural traffic.

Nightcrawlers be crawlin' at night! The gardeners and fishing people will appreciate this night time excursion to see how the local nightcrawlers are doing.

We got a corgi puppy! Her name is Emily and she is the best!

This is the Gordonville Mud Sale. Mud sales are Amish run auctions that take place in the spring, when it's muddy, to raise money for their local fire departments. Thousands show up from near and far to buy everything from antiques to quilts to farm equipment. #amish #Lancaster #auction #culture

We were back to see the Snow Geese! We found that they had been scared from the main pond to a smaller pond by a backhoe doing maintenance at a nearby park. This is a video of them flying back to the main pond.

A bluebird visits us every year. While it's fun to think he's looking in our windows to say hi, he's just angry he sees his reflection in the glass. Unbeknownst to him, he's seeing himself and not someone competing for females and nesting sites. #birds #bluebird

Snow geese have arrived at a small pond in Lancaster, PA! There is supposed to be a single Ross's goose too, but nobody was able to locate it while we were there. We'll try looking for it again today!

Yeah, that looks cold! Congrats on the pond construction milestone!

So, we're back in the cold after a week in Naples, FL. The picture is from Clam Pass Beach where it was a warm 80 something degrees and sunny!

Thank you!

Just some beach birds chillin' in Naples Florida. Can I get some help identifying them?

After cutting down a dying tree, a pile of branches ended up near my bird feeders. It didn't take long for it to fill with birds!

With the freezing rain came a 4 hour delayed opening for work!

A beautiful sunset in Lancaster County, PA.

Just two Black Vultures hanging out along the Susquehanna River.

Wow, what a rainbow! Not only is it huge, it's absolutely beautiful!

NOOO! IT IS A SQUIRREL STOPPER! NOT A SQUIRREL HELPER!

Fluffy moo.

Moo.

A Cooper hawk it is! Thank you!

This fine hawk was nice enough to watch over and protect my bird feeders over the weekend. Can anyone identify what hawk it is?

I'm with you on the love hate relationship of the Starling. It's amazing they can mimic human speech, but the ones that visit my backyard feeders don't do that. They just terrorize my feeders. Devouring all the suet cakes and shake the seed out of the hanging feeders. Hooligans in my experience!

I stick to feeds and so far they have been free of politics. What I like about Bluesky is that I set what I want to see and that's all I see. The other social media services show what they want me to see. I'm just tired of not having control over things anymore.

A frozen Susquehanna River as seen from Columbia, PA. It's been a frigid week starting with a snowstorm followed by a polar vortex with temps dropping below 0F. Once things warm up we'll be watching for the ice to break up and flow downstream, perhaps in dramatic fashion!

The price is my biggest concern. This thing, with its big screen, looks expensive. The original Switch was affordable for a lot of people, which I'm sure helped its popularity.
