Yesterday, we hit 73, the spring peepers and the toads began their mating songs. The woods are alive again.
I saw toads in the ponds looking for love! Watching the play back from last night they are chasing chasing chasing

We were in Florida last week playing mini Golf, the big Bug almost landed on me, it was trying to get to the wall of flowers, I just stood still, it knew where it really wanted to go lol. I’m not sure what it is. A moth?View attachment 119897

Yes, it's a moth. A quick search shows it's a Spotted Oleander Moth.

Went for a hike today. I didn't take many photos, but I saw quite a bit. Geese, ducks, and grebes were in the pond. I saw half a dozen turtles, too. I could hear toad mating calls in the distance, and on the way back, I saw two Great Horned Owls. One looked to be a juvenile. Tried to get a photo but they took off.
