OK, here are some non-bird animals from around Minnesota:

A fat and happy toad:

Chipmunk - the kids favorite I think...

Treefrog

Northern Pike! (6 lbs)

White-tailed Deer

A little Snapping turtle - only 6 inches or so:

Yes, yes you should.

Tony,
A fellow fisherman I see?

I haven't fished much since I moved out to the desert but I used to go bass fishing all the time in a private lake owned by my neighborhood.

Tony,
We haven't been catching much worth takin' pictures of. I'll snap some more either way - lots of guys complaining about not catching anything lately.

Hi, Daiv,
I like yur toads and frogs! Especially the first picture: It is not the standard pic you see when folks want to show you an animal for determining the species. It is more the portray of this individial toad. Very nice!

A 6 lb. pike. Isn't that small? I remember pictures of my dad and grandfather holding 20+ lb. pike. Those were the days.

6lb isn't huge, but is a nice size. If you catch one 10lbs or more, you really have something to brag about. This 6lb guy is the biggest I caught this year and the only one I kept. I hate cleaning fish.

(Probably just ruined my "reputation" among the fishermen here.)

It's alright Daiv,
I was always a catch and release kinda guy cause I hate cleaning fish too..and btw you wouldn't want to eat the ones from our "lake" it was more like a pond full of geese poop and algae.

Great shots -- I really enjoyed them! Especially the frogs.
