Turtles and Towhee at Peace Valley

On a recent trip to Peace Valley we saw the cormorants out in Lake Galena, and Canada Geese also.

The woods were as peaceful as ever.

We started along a pathway, but were unprepared for wet walking, and had to turn back.

In the bird blind we saw the now yellow goldfinches.

An eastern painted turtle basking just above the pond surface.

Nice to see a towhee.

And there were many turtles, each seeking a bit of sun.
