We need to be on the lookout for turtles where we don't usually see them. The reason they are out and about right now is that males are looking for females. And females are looking for places to lay their eggs.
I was out hiking and snapping photos on a beautiful Saturday at the Edwin B Forsythe Wildlife Refuge when in the distance I saw something, I wasn't sure what... maybe a goose or a dog? As I got closer, I could see it was neither, it was some kind of reptile and finally I could see it was a turtle...
Happy World Turtle Day everyone! I fell in love with turtles at a young age and ever since then I researched everything to know about them. Not only are turtles adorable, but they are smart too. Turtles that are in captivity will learn their guardian's name, face, and scent and recognize them for the duration of their lives...
