Turtles

It’s not all about birds; --- I’m actually interested in a lot of different kinds of critters.  Yesterday it was Western Pond Turtles that caught my attention.  We walk out Schad Road on a regular basis here in Elkton, and there is a certain section of Elk Creek that we pass where some logs always produce turtles soaking up the sun. The last two days four to five turtles have been spotted. They are on the other side of the river, so it takes binoculars to confirm, and full zoom on the camera to produce this photo.  Put “Turtle” in the SEARCH function of any of the main pages to see the three different kinds of turtles in Cascade Ramblings.
