Other critters found in or near our "Lakes." (part 2)

More turtles








A HUGE snake



Two Armadillos



And a cat who is after the birds visiting our bird feeders. 
 I think he needs to remember My two Constant Companions...

Other critters found in or near our "Lakes."


 As we (Constant Companions and I) take our daily walks about the area we find other critters that live with us in Cordova around the "lake."  Toni is NOT a fan of turtles!  She will bark and pull at the leash to get away from them ASAP!
This is the end of the "lake" where we photographed the softshell turtle that follows

Visitors to our "lake" after tropical storm Isaaic (Part 2)


An interesting little critter I spotted was the Pied-billed Grebe.  It would not let me get close and dived when I moved in too quickly.

Each time it moved to get close to the Mallards they would "attack" and move it back away.  This single bird was on the "lake" during the evening then gone the next morning.  Today I found a group of three on the same part of the "lakes."
