today's walk took an unexpected turn when we had to rescue 45 (!!!) snapping turtle hatchlings from the road by the park. while not many of a clutch are meant to survive, the nissan rogue is not a natural predator so today they got a little help. ❤️

Today’s turtle is the Common Snapping Turtle!
Great time creature-spotting this past weekend

Above a few photos from a Saturday morning bike ride on the Mon River Trail. The milkweed is now in bloom, including butterfly weed (Asclepias tuberosa), whose incandescent orange flowers are a beacon to many pollinators. Along the shady, moist banks of the trail, smooth hydrangea (Hydrangea arborescens) and purple-flowered raspberry (Rubus odoratus) are at peak bloom, descending from the slopes in cascading tiers, often intermixed. And then there is the local wildlife, including on this late spring day a hefty common snapping turtle (Chelydra serpentina), likely a female looking for a spot to lay her eggs. I also rescued a juvenile version from the trail - a tiny (armored) tyke that posed a much lower risk to my fingers.

you've heard of tutel now get ready for TWOtel
(common snapping turtle and eastern painted turtle)
Two turtles for the price of one!
A monstrous turtle emerges from the muck.
It’s gigantic.
Look closely - a typically-sized Midwestern turtle sits next to its foot.
It must be close to its size-limit, with a possible 30-inch diameter shell and weighing well in excess of 100 pounds. It’s possible that this beast is 40+ years old.
Turtles from my walk today and some other photos.
