The pond/common slider (Trachemys scripta) is a species of common, medium-sized, semiaquatic turtle. Hatchling and juvenile pond sliders have a greenish upper shell (carapace), yellow bottom shell (plastron), and green and yellow stripes and markings on their skin. These patterns and colors in the skin and shell fade with age until the carapace is a muted olive green to orange brown or brown and the plastron is a dull yellow or darker.

I've never been able to capture so clear a photo of a Common Merganser before. She was most cooperative. A couple more to come.
