Squirrel Sunday (Ok...Monday) and the last of my Ohio photos.....

I meant to post this yesterday. 

This squirrel was outside the nature center at Maumee Bay State Park.  We were in the nature center for at least a half hour and this squirrel never moved....or blinked.  I was beginning to wonder if it was stuffed!

I should make this one a caption contest.  Anyone have a good caption for this squirrel?

They have a really neat statue, but it was hard to find a good spot to take a photo. I love how it shows all the different layers of nature here.

A Downy enjoying the tree in the feeding area.

Goldfinches doing the same.

There were two really cute little owls who are injured and can't be released in the wild.

A snake keeping warm under the lights.

Along the lake front there are numerous nature reserve areas.  This place gives tours, and I like their barn.  I'd really like to go back to this place with more time for looking at nature.

I just liked this beautiful horse out enjoying the grass.

And we found an eagle sitting in a tree who was quite willing to pose for us!  So majestic looking!  He seems to know that he is the "king" of the birds.

This was a drive-by shot on the way there.  One of the many Ohio Bicentennial barn paintings.  They are all over Ohio and you can find many of them on a web site.

I'm sure someone can tell me what this "ghost" pod is that we found on the beach?
(NOTE: I've learned this is a Chinese Lantern pod.  How cool!  Thanks for the ID!)
