The Wildlife Around Our House

One of the really nice things about our house is the view of the lake. (Maybe it's more of a pond? It's pretty small, but people fish, and I have seen canoes and paddleboats out on it.) We've seen a lot of animals around the house--deer, ducks, geese, robins (and other small birds I haven't identified yet), heron, and--of course--other people. :)

 

This is a little turtle I had to move when I was mowing the front yard (sorry he's blurry--the camera focused on my gloves instead of the turle), so I moved him into the back near the water. If I remember my Michigan reptiles, I believe he's a Painted Turtle.
