Chip the Box Turtle
Chip made her debut appearance June 17, 2007. At least that's when she was first photographed exploring the area behind our house looking for a nesting site. At the time, we had no idea what she was doing or that this ritual would take place year after year.
The video below was captured seven years later on June 19, 2014 at about 6:30 AM. She's taking a long drink from a puddle in the driveway.
Box turtles are believed to have a lifespan that can exceed 100 years.
Chip is just one of several box turtles to visit every June.
