These pictures are from the turtle day last Friday (July 11). We saw both snappers and softshells in the lake, but it wasn't until we moved up to the pond that the real fun began! The map turtle, which I knew should be here at TWC, but hadn't been able to get a real good look at, was basking on a log, snapping at passing damselflies. We were also able to watch a snapping turtle swim right into the trap! These pictures are from the marking of that turtle. Thanks so much to all of you who came to help - many hand make light work as they say - and allow me to keep all my fingers! Also, thanks to Pam Feagler for taking all these great pictures!
