Weather ... HOT & HUMID !!

I spent the week watching several Quabbin swamps with very little wildlife activity. Temperatures in the low nineties and high humidity where certainly a challenge.
The Belted Kingfisher on the title page entertained me every morning.

This Bull Frog seemed more the okay with the warm weather and appears to be happy watching me.

Eastern King Birds where pretty much the only bird activity.

Several Painted Turtles on alert as I approached very slowly to capture this picture.

Evenings where a treat fishing the reservoir and listening to the Loons.

Most nights would end with my wife and I sitting around the campfire listening to a Barred Owl in the distant woods.

About as good a vacation one could ask for !
