Random Critters, Manomet, Plymouth, Massachusetts, USA

Manomet isn't quite the wilderness but, we do have some varied critters living here. Like our occasional visiting great egret who returned again at dusk to roost in a nearby tree.

And hundreds of these crabs washed up with the tide but, 24 hours later, all remnants were gone - eaten, washed away, or buried by nature's forces.  Nature has a very efficient processing system.

Early morning sunshine brought out nine turtles on this log to bask in the sun's warmth.

And on a different day, in the tree directly above the turtle log, this red-shouldered hawk makes a morning appearance looking for breakfast.
