"Here are the photos of the critters some of the Wilderness Wildlife Week birdwatchers attempted to rescue during the May 8 Bird Walk led by photographer Clay Thurston," emailed Diane.
"At first glance it appeared as though a turtle was stuck upside down in the river near LeConte Center."
"However, when a sandal-footed birder waded in to try to flip it over, much to everyone’s surprise, she discovered a second head attached to a second shell at which time grins broke out on everyone’s faces."
Yes, indeed. May is the beginning of turtle nesting season. But all turtles, even aquatic snapping turtles, dig a hole and lay their eggs on dry land.
Thanks, Diane.
