A beautiful bird. One of nearly 30 in a wonderful aviary at Turtle Bay Exploration Park in Redding, California.
Even after having spent years around these birds, they never cease to amaze me. They are just strikingly beautiful, and such a delight to photograph. Full of spunk and personality - and you never know when one is going to decide to land on your head. Don't freak out when it happens! They're just going to use you as a perch for a bit.
Oh, and don't stand under them. You might get pooped on.
But if you're smart in your approach, you can get a fantastic photo without getting pooped on!
They are very inquisitive, social birds. You can see it in this photo, just from the way he looks at the camera.
It is such a joy to spend time around these birds.
This turtle was resting on a log beside the Tip to Tip Trail along the Rideau Canal, Ottawa. The sun was high and the turtle was enjoying its warmth. He was not bothered by having his picture taken and stayed there for a very long time.

They have a major breeding program in Fuerteventura so this one was being well looked after!
They have been transporting whole nests of eggs from the Cape Verde Islands and re-burying them on isolated beaches in Fuerteventura. Since the turtles always return to the beach they hatched on to breed, they should be back in around 20 years!

this pic was taken at the iguana sanctuary in Mexico, this was the only shot I managed to get, someone was holding this little guy, and was about to put him back in the water so I grabbed a quick shot, kinda cute, huh?
EXPLORE: September 30. Whenever there's a lot of rain in my neighborhood, we see turtles passing through the front yard. I suspect they are coming from the wetland area down the road and are moving to higher ground? I have no idea. I'm happy to have them pass through and to stay as long as they like.

My cousin and I found this turtle for sale in a Port Moresby fish market. We bought it for around $15 USD and released it in an area free from fishermen. It was a great sight to see it powering off into the blue sea.
Saw this little guy just chilling on a rock in a pond. There were several turtles sitting on them in the ponds throughout the park.
