Wow, how wonderful to spot three in the space of a week! Sounds like life is good for box turtles at Caddo.
Wonderful yes I reckon for now. Not as many people yet but has started with more lakes opening.
Interesting the shells on turtles didn’t have strong markings. Beautiful faces tho.
I should have said they were three toed box turtles. Ornate box turtles have the markings bolder.
Great turtle shots. Really beautiful creatures.
Also found the chicken article interesting.

Listening to sound on the lovely turtle video took me back to my caddo visits for field work!
I don’t remember that you were over at Caddo. Glad it was a good memory 😊❤️
