Snapping Turtle, Covington, LA, Do Not Touch! He Will Bite!

by Leave a Comment

You better watch out!

This is a healthy snapping turtle whom I feel would have been killed if I would not have picked him up and relocated him, however today was his lucky day as I transported him to the Tchefuncte River and belly flopped him into the water. He, more or less, instantly paddled his happy behind away into the murky muddy Louisiana river. And, truth be told, I was happy to see him go, for without a careful eye he would have taken a nice chunk out of me! Then I am not sure how lucky his day would have gone. I’m just saying… :)-

Hope you enjoy, and watch your fingers.

Thank You

I came across this wildlife sanctuary after discovering a young blue jay whom had fallen out of a tall tree. We were unable to get him into a safe spot from the neighbors cats who, after hearing him chirp and the commotion from the parent blue jays, were scoping him out for the kill. Needless to say, we grabbed him up. Therefore if you happen to be in a similar situation and you come across a young wild animal, Wings of Hope will give them a strong chance at survival.

Thank You

Mellowfest 2011 took place on Saturday, May 21, 2011 at the Mellow Mushroom located in Covington, Louisiana.  The Bout It Brass Band once again headlined the event.  I first saw this band at last year’s Mellowfest and when I heard they were going to be playing Mellowfest again, I had to video them so I could post it for everyone to enjoy.  So sit back and relax and enjoy the Bout It Brass Band!

Thanks!
