Shenandoah Critters

and finally... a handful of randoms, including the co-stars of the show (together with the Cerulean Warbler, of course).

 Appalachian Cottontail. What do you mean, it looks just like a rabbit?... 

 White-tailed Deer, anything but shy... the 5000 strong herd in the National Park is, apparently, descended from just 13 individuals!

 Red Eft, a rather fantastic newt!


And, of course, Black Bears. We saw five in the end: one big male blundering up a slope away from us, a mother with two cubs (top: you can just see one peeping over the wall) feeding along the roadside before heading across the road and up the hill, and finally another male (bottom) as we left the park.
