Saturday’s Critters – Out on a Hike

A few critters I have taken photos of on Tulsa’s Turkey Mountain Urban Wilderness Area

A turtle on a stick at a pond.

A beetle on a rock

A robin on the ground. Robins are the only birds polite enough to show themselves and pose until I can get them in focus and snap a photo. The other little buggers flit here and there in the brush, never stay in place very long. They are aggravating.

Question Mark Butterfly

A butterfly. Google lens tells me it is a “Question Mark Butterfly.” I have never heard of such a thing.

Eastern Tiger Swallowtail Butterfly

Google Lens tells me this is an Eastern Tiger Swallowtail Butterfly.

Three Toed Box Turtle

This turtle was on the edge of a trail trying to climb that rock in front of it. I decided to help the little bugger out and lift it up and over the rock. After I did that it acted all kind of perturbed like it didn’t need my help. Deal with it is what I told him.

I’m linking with Saturday’s Critters

    …I haven’t seen a butterfly yet this year. I like Google Lens, but I’ve learn to not always trust it!
