on August 30, 2022So cute. Great shot. Glad to see they are heading in the right direction. I watched a few snapping turtles, over the weekend, as they hatched and came out of the ground. Unfortunately, they all headed onto a busy parking lot., the opposite direction a safe environment. Fortunately, a couple of concerned people were scooping them up and putting them in a safe place.
