I went on a bike ride on Tulsa’s RiverParks trail system along the Arkansas River.
I spotted this bale of turtles out basking in the hot sun. The interwebs tell me that bale is the collective noun for turtles.
I focused in on the boss bale. At least it was the biggest one.
Just a few white pelicans out and about. The interwebs say the collective noun is squadron, pouch, pod, or scoop. So I am calling these four a pouch of pelicans.
And just below the Zink Dam there was this group fishing.
And here is my turnaround spot with the River Bears in the background. It was a hot day!!
I’m linking with Eileen’s Saturday’s Critters. Come over and join the party.
Hello,
I love seeing all those turtles and the White Pelicans are a favorite.
The Bear sculpture is beautiful too.
Thank you for linking up and sharing your post. Take care, have a great weekend. PS, thank you for leaving me a comment.
At least turtles and other reptiles and amphibians enjoy the hot weather, even though we don’t. Our temperatures reached 102 here in Mississippi on Tuesday!
Lindas tortugas. Me gustan los pelicanos. Te mando un beso.
I didn’t know a bale was a group of turtles! Oh, there’s that fountain you didn’t want to climb until they put up a sign telling you not to, right? 🙂
Sounds like a fantastic bike ride. Love the “bale” of turtles and “pouch” of pelicans.
Aww turtles! Zink Dam look interesting.
