I've gotten to where I just don't take a lot of photographs at camp...  It's a nice break from the camera, not much is seen that I haven't already photographed before, and so much other busy stuff is going on.  But here is what I did shoot:

Seriously, these are one of the worst things ever created.

Big female Softshell.

You can pick your friends, you can pick your nose, but..."HEY, why u lookin' up my nose anyway?"

"Now, I'm not so happy."

For the last couple of years, I've put in the little free time I have at camp to herp some of the nearby streams in search of Queensnakes.  They were once considered a commonly encountered snake in the area, but are now thought to be extripated there.  I'm not entirely convinced.  I checked several spots with good habitat, but, alas, no Queens again this year.  A consolation?...

Sorry pic of a Pickerel.

This was my display table for the registration period at the start of week two camp.

Monster caterpillar of a Luna or relative?

The campers stirred up this nice Coal Skink from the grass along the edge of the lake during one of our nightly herp walks.

Renn taught this little camp intruder a good lesson! 

Despite the evidence of massive flooding from earlier in the spring, the forest floor was really dry for camp.  Only a handful of salamanders were uncovered, including just one of these little gems: Four-toed Salamander.

Pretty little darter (perhaps Rainbow Darter?).
