BioBlitz Turtles

Marie,

I thought you might like to see a few photos of two species of land turtles I saw the day of the BioBlitz. The first two are of a wood turtle (Clemmys insculpta), the first wood turtle I've seen. The next two are of an Eastern box turtle (Terrapene carolina carolina). I was very excited to find a new species (new to me, at least.)
