Painted Turtles


We started digging a new flowerbed yesterday but progress was quickly halted when we discovered a Painted Turtle nest in the work zone. The eggs had already hatched and there were 8 little guys (and gals) ready to begin their adventures. After a quick bath we relocated them to a more amicable place a short distance away. A short video of the encounter is above and you can see it full screen here.
