Just read that Egrets eat fish, and insects, and frogs. There are a ton of frogs in these canals, so now I know why we see Egrets so often. And they're so chill and graceful. Really amazing creature.

My daughter spotted this eastern box turtle transiting the backyard this morning. It was, perhaps, a little camera shy. 🐢

Red soldier beetles getting frisky on hmm not sure what the plant is.
Apparently they like to snack on the cinnabar moths that I saw recently.

We saw this gorgeous Golden Orb Weaver while walking through the gardens. Massive creature. About the size of my closed fist. 👊
Such fancy leggings too.

This Ragwort was just loaded with these Cinnabar #moth caterpillars. I guess we'll see those soon.

This tiny juvenile five-lined skink didn’t see me and zipped forward to bask in the sun. About the size of your pinky. #lizard #WildLife

A cool thing about the Seattle Frontrunners group runs is that this barred owl (Strix varia) is not even the first owl I've seen this close on a run. (This one was along the ravine trail in Ravenna Park this morning.)

People clearly feed the #turtles around here because buddy here saw me and swam directly on over. If a #turtle can leave in a huff, this one did. I had nothing to offer but a smile. 😊
Some kind of pond slider perhaps?
