Nest Making?
Last night I saw a snapping turtle making a nest just off the Songbird Pond pathway.
Today I looked across the pond and saw another next apparently being prepared. Same turtle? It's hard to say ans the light last night at 8:15 p.m. was much different than the light this morning.
These turtles lay hundreds of eggs and they will be very vulnerable and a great majority won't survive.
I just realized when I look at the Large version that this turtle is covered with mud, making it look VERY different.
