Snapper sighted E Pond

Over the weekend, we had some stormy weather Saturday night 0.58 inch rain; Sunday afternoon tornadoes on the east side of Norman. Sunday morning I went to the Woods via the SW Gate to see what winds and rain had done. There were a few new branches down, but nothing significant. The Woods were filled with green. There was too much water ponded up on the Main SW trail (by SW #2) so I walked east on the South Boundary trail to the Dune trail and crossed north from there across the water (slowly flowing out at Beaver Dam).  Two white-tailed deer dashed west in the woods just north of the Beaver Dam as I walked over the dune. Cottontail rabbits were feeding along Hackberry Alley. In the East Pond, I was delighted to see a medium sized snapper turtle at the east end. I watched it close up for several minutes before it moved off into deeper water. Mosquitoes were present but not bad.
Lots of red scarlet cup fungi in the central woods and some fresh Auricularia jelly fungus (on down pecan branch?) along the northern loop trail. Water was flowing in the Wash past Island Crossing and under Elm Bridge. Multiflora rose blossoms are just starting. Viburnum white flowers are gone. Grass is tall and thick. No Odonates spotted on either pond.
