I had to move a snapping turtle across the road on Cape Cod a few years 
ago. Traffic was stopped, and I saw the problem was a large turtle in 
the middle of the road. So, I got out of my car, approached the turtle 
from behind, slid one hand under its lower shell while keeping well out 
of the way of its jaws and claws, and scooted it across. I actually got 
applause from some of the drivers.

Those are all hylids with adhesive feet. We have two of them in my part 
of the country: the spring peeper, a small brown frog with a dark X 
across its back; and the gray tree frog, which I rarely see but 
colleagues have encountered around and sometimes even inside their 
houses.

Do you live in the Pacific tree frog's range? That is the frog that goes 
"ribbit, ribbit"; as far as I know it's the only one in the world that 
does.

Wow. Every time I try to get a picture of a bird, they tend to fly away. 
I've had pretty good luck with wild turkeys and Canada geese, through.

Here we have monarch butterflies, which I usually see in August and 
September. I have seen a caterpillar, but not in a while.

Unless I'm mistaken, the yellow and black butterfly is a swallowtail; we 
have those here too.

I see hawks fairly frequently here, but I'm not skilled enough to tell a 
red-tailed from a red-shouldered. There are ospreys along the coast both 
north (Maine) and south (Cape Cod, Rhode Island) of me. And once in a 
while someone reports a bald eagle, although they're more common in 
Maine.

There are supposed to be peregrine falcons in Boston, nesting on the 
tall buildings and preying on the local pigeon population, but I've 
never seen one.

Fascinating.
