We found this turtle at the forest edge yesterday near a Maine pond. We are assuming it is a she and is on her way to a sandy spot, preferably, to lay some eggs. We have seen evidence in this area of turtle egg laying but have never actually seen the animals doing their thing.
During a walk down toward Enders Island last weekend on the Connecticut coast, the ocean side marsh had a multitude of redwing blackbirds foraging for food.
Our visit to the Ice pond this past weekend revealed a crowd of turtles on a different rock.
The osprey shown in the previous post lands on the remnants of last year’s nest. There is much work to be done.
As Spring is now here, we have had a chance to visit the Connecticut coast this week. The osprey nest is now being checked out for use this year.
