Look what Will and I found on our walk along the power lines. Thanks Keith and Evangelina for the off-road baby jogger. We can go anywhere with that thing!This is an Eastern Box Turtle (Terrapene carolina carolina) . This one is a female I'm guessing because she has brown eyes. Apparently, the females have brown eyes and the males have red ones. I wondered if she was making a nest. I know the snapping turtles are at it this time of year, but I didn't see any disturbed dirt around her.
Will loved it, but she closed herself up pretty quickly and never poked her head out again after I handed her over to Will. Good idea. He eats everything.
