Turtles Are Nesting!
Turtle Tallier Pat Grace found this lovely lady in his yard. First Map Turtle nesting of the season!
Thank you Turtle Talliers for reporting your sightings of nesting turtles!
So far we have been getting reports of Snapping turtles on the move, and nesting Painted and Map turtles. Make sure to watch out for these lovely ladies as they begin their epic journey to their nesting sites. Some times they will journey up to 7km away if its a Blanding’s Turtle…Wow!
