The beauty of blandingii
Blanding's Turtle (Emydoidea blandingii). May 31, 2010.
I saw my first Blanding's Turtle of the season today. This yellow throated beaut was basking on a log with about a dozen Midland Painted Turtles Chrysemys picta marginata when I first spotted him. I was a classic "one of these things is not like the other..." as I drove past the pond and scanned the log. By the time I worked my way close enough to get a decent photo all the Painteds had plopped into the water. The lone Blanding's was soon to follow.
