cruising on a log
Painted Turtles line up on the shore to soak up the sun.
The free-floating log in the pond is a wonderful chance for the turtles to take a cruise, even though everything is covered with algae.

duck house
We put up a nesting box for ducks last Spring, especially Hooded Mergansers.
It was too late for nesting season, but I read that sometimes they scout out in the autumn a place to nest next Spring.
We hope this female is scouting!
