"Move over!" He was actually yawning. Gotta love the borrowed 600mm! Taken from the blind at Mass Audubon's Daniel Webster Wildlife Sanctuary in Marshfield.

Turtles

This turtle was one of many on Chincoteague Island, VA.

The turtle came up from the water and laid its eggs in the grass near some bushes at the Royal Botanical Gardens.

A beautiful softshell turtle in the Cascades. We have only seen them in the pond. A real treat to see one on dry land.

Box turtles live a long time and are very vulnerable to getting run over and having humans carry them away and release them in unfamiliar territory where they're unlikely to survive.

One morning while looking for Mexican Hog nosed snakes six of these Ornate Box Turtles were seen crossing the road. These are a protected species in Arizona and always fun to see.

The highlight of anyone's trip to Hawaii a swimming encounter with a sea turtle. I was fortunate to have this encounter with 5 feeding turtles on a rocky point near the beach.

Box Turtles are reasonably common where I live. Their high-domed shells can be seen wandering through the forest, yards and far too often on the roads. But these turtles are decades old. Their replacement generation is not to be found -- a casualty of too much human development. Seeing an adult is always enjoyable -- but really not noteworthy. Finding a nestling box turtle is a rare and special experience. Still covered in the dirt from the egg nest this baby is not as photogenic as a heron or eagle -- but still ranks high on my photographic list. It is a small hope for a dying population.
