Box Turtle Update
Box Turtle mating season is well under way! Keep an eye out around the perimeter of your yard for these gentle little creatures. The turtle pictured below visited our garden yesterday morning. Her nickname is "Three Legs", not because she has three legs but she tends to keep one rear leg folded up inside her shell giving the appearance of a missing limb. All of our local turtles are named by their physical characteristics making it easy to remember from year to year. This is the second year that Three Legs has visited. No sign this season of favorites Old Lady or Dent and Chip has been staying hidden and has not been seen since May 31st. Dent is the only known male in the area so hopefully he is alive and well.
