Yesterday I found myself sitting outside of a doctor's office for a while. There was a very small retention pond or drainage area in the back. It's amazing how nature is anywhere and everywhere that you give it a chance. I certainly didn't expect to get such a nice view of a snapping turtle.
-I got to practice my elm identification by looking at the asymmetrical bottom of the leves.
-I saw what I'm relatively certain was cut-leaved crane's bill and carolina crane's bill right next to each other and in bloom so now I think I can identify both of those and tell them apart.
-I also saw what I'm pretty sure was a yellow rumped warbler.
In addition to these things I watched a lot of squirrels, cardinals and mourning doves.
I think American elm, but how do I tell apart from a winged elm. Could a winged elm be this big and not display "wings"?
