Happy Sunday Everyone!
Today camouflaged in the center of the image, we have a snake that was taken at Iroquois National Wildlife Refuge in Basom, New York. My best friend and I had been looking to get away from Buffalo for a few hours and just take in some fresh air during midterms, so we decided to get out to Iroquois. We were just on our way out on one of the trails and my friend caught sight of this little guy. It was a great ending to a nice little hike.

Happy Saturday Everyone!
This morning we have a Pied-Billed Grebe in non-breeding plumage. The Pied-Billed Grebe’s loud vocalization makes it sound very similar to the Yellow-Billed Cuckoo, despite their wildly different behaviors and habitats. Pied-Billed Grebes very rarely fly – when in danger, they actually dive up to 20 feet underwater. Have a great weekend everyone!

Happy Friday Everyone!
This picture shows a different side to The Burren in County Claire Ireland. This beautiful sandy beach is located in Fanore in County Claire. I had never seen anything like it before in my life. The sand is a mixture of black and brown sand. Just down the way, there is a grassy hill with more of the limestone that is common in The Burren. I could sit there all day watching the waves come in and be perfectly content. Have a great end to the week everyone!

Happy Thursday Everyone!
This morning we revisit the Everglades with a picture of an American Crocodile. Contrary to popular belief, the American Crocodile is not very aggressive and attacks from them are rare. It is like any other animal, when it feels threatened it will attack. Reasonable precautions and distance keep us in harmony with this and many other species that share our living space.
