A few of these cicadas were still doing their thing in late September. They began sounding off and mating in late April, continuing all summer, day and night.

Have idea about ID yet unsure.
This turtle appeared to be resting in a precarious spot, possibly blocked by the tracks. At the time, wasn't able to relocate, went back later and the medium-sized turtle, about 10" length, wasn't around.

Catches your attention on the forest floor. A little challenging to tell with only a partial leaf remaining... May be on a young white oak.

Beautiful Jumping Spider, think species is right... when I first observed it from a slight distance while standing up, thought it was a velvet ant (genus Dasymutila), which they closely mimic.

Pileated woodpeckers have been seen and heard in the general area for many years, including recently. Have watched them at work in other areas, creating this type of sign, my initial guess.

Green leaves that easily catch your eye on the forest floor in January.
Natural area associated with an historical landmark/park... for me, this island of a natural area - surrounded by ever-increasing urbanization is what's really valuable as opposed to the "heritage-like" historical aspect which I can easily pass on.
Is a place in the area to connect with Nature, where only a few visit, a rareity in the growing metropolis swallowing up the state of North Carolina, from the Piedmont to beyond. Location somewhat generalized to help keep area protected from over-use, a common situation of natural areas around here.

Saw this beauty while walking a somewhat hidden trail at an area park. She/he was shaking her tail like gopher/bull snakes do to sound like a rattlesnake. Should have caught it on video. Peacefully, I departed the area. Was a great observation.
