Finally a live one

Every year I see less and less box turtles around here. This little girl came cruising along while I was cutting the grass. I love turtles

Sure is a pretty pattern on the shell.  They are cool to see.  I've seen a number of snappers crossing the road, but no box turtles.  Thanks for sharing the pic.

I can't say that I have EVER seen a box turtle, although snappers and painted turtles are very common around here, and soft shelled turtles seem common in some of the Finger Lakes, notably Keuka and Honeoye...

I have seen a couple of wood turtles, but they are not real common...I had to look them up after I rescued one from the road.

Nice pictures...
