The pond thickens

So I ran up again this afternoon to check on 7 who is still acting a bit odd, although she is still in the same place as she was this (early) morning. Her back legs are positioned at a weird angle and she still seems to be scraping dirt back and forth with them. Here is a bad representation of it....



In other news, the pond now looks like someone has poured half and half in it. It has these odd mineral looking sections that are not mixed with the rest of the water. It also has a odd bluish/green hue to the 'creamy' sections. weiiiiiird.



Turts 4, 8, 10, and 12 were all seen in the murk. The beast (turt8) looks really algaed and appears to have a swollen/damaged right eye. We need to get that guy soon. An unmarked juvenile and an 08 hatch were also seen.

Turts 1,3, and 5 are all right where they have been for the last few days. Turt 2 is still mixing it up and has headed back to the downed pine, although she is now higher up near the trunk. I didn't get a visual on her because I was by myself and the tree stabbed me in the head when I tried to squeeze into the thicket. Fail.

Also saw this dude.
