Kind of odd looking turtle in the canal, I'm thinking some sort of pond slider? Any advice is appreciated though!

Dunlin (Calidris alpina)Observer

Sorry for the truly terrible picture. Saw this group of shorebirds in flight and rushed to get a picture. Medium sized, with slightly downturned bills and potentially molting into breeding plumage. Some of the birds have black coloration starting to appear on their undersides. Wasn't entirely sure on the ID, but saw someone else had reported a group of Dunlins the same size at this location today on eBird, so I'm feeling more certain. Thanks in advance for any advice!

Saw it dive down to grab something and looks like it might be holding nesting material?

I think this is a Green Frog over a bullfrog? Correct me if I'm wrong though

Some sort of flowering shrub we were curious about. The opposite branching pattern made my mom suspect it's some kind of viburnum?
