Blanding's Turtle

This is a Blanding's Turtle.

She was sunbathing at H.R. Frank Conservation Area in Quinte, Ontario, Canada. This is a "Threatened" Species. This is the second one I seen in this little conservation area in Plainfield, Ontario.

Turtles and Blackbird Marsh Life II

This picture was taken the same day that I took the Geese Family photo below.

The turtles seem to be watching this bird rather intently.
