Looks (and description sounds) like a downy or hairy woodpecker. It's hard to tell which it is. Hairy is bigger with a bigger beak, downy is small. Other than that, they look very similar.

Beautiful box turtle! It's definitely a _Terrapene carolina_ (three-toed or eastern box turtle). The color and pattern can be extremely variable. The pattern on the plastron (bottom part of the shell) is often needed to distinguish between this species and the related Ornate Box Turtle (Terrapene ornata). You have both in your area, so keep an eye out for them!

The colors in the first photo are surreal! Thanks for posting it!

It looks like a Peromyscus (Deer Mouse or White-Footed Mouse) to me.

Was it growing in or near a stream? Do you have photos of the vegetation?

I don't know why your sightings are showing up as unidentified even though you have them listed correctly.

I'm not much of a mammal guy but that is definitely not a mole (Scalopus aquaticus). It might be a vole, which is a rodent (moles are insectivores).

Hi Hollye,

In your area, the frog is probably either a bullfrog or green frog. You need to get a shot of the body before you can tell for sure.

Wow, these are really neat. Chanterelles?

Thanks to both of you!
