mating turtles. i have seen the female turtle many times before. 70 degrees and overcast. last rain was 4-5 days ago.
Found this in the woods of this park next to a dry stream. The woods are mixed old Short-leaf pine, Sweet Gum and other hardwoods.
The turtle was in an area that was being mowed behind our house. We picked it up to move it to an area farther back that won't be disturbed. This turtle was about 5" in length.
I was very surprised to see this Box Turtle. I spend a lot of time looking for Damselflies along this string of three ponds and I've never seen one there before.
