This is pretty cool. It is a real, undoctored photo of a leatherback sea turtle. They can grow to almost 10 ft across.

Hello all,

I went searching for my redbird today. I didn't find him but I heard a lot of birds. There was one that was chanting: chea chea chea very fast (about 7 or 8 chea's in a row). It was a hard c? LoL It is hard to represent in words.

I went back to my little forest. It is really a strip of trees BTW my apt. building and a big hill leading down into a group of senior apartments. Here are two pictures... the first one in front of the trees, and the other, of the hill in the back.





I didn't want to fall down this hill! HA Really, I had to forcefully lean back as I had moved down the hill about two steps. NO birds appeared. Well, actually two birds appeared but in a split second they were in the underbrush where my camera could not see. But the sounds were beautify and I just relaxed and enjoyed! Finally, I took this picture of some wild flowers. Hey, what else?

Editing to add: as I sat on the hill, I heard the bird chanting chea, chea again. Then, I heard an unseen bird high in the sky answer him! It was very cool.

There is no photo attached to this post. Not sure what you are doing wrong.
