Monday turtle (in)action.
Yep. Still bunkered down and riding out the heat. On a good note, the bee dots still look great and are taking the friction well.

Western Pond Turtle Research
This is part of our ongoing research on Western Pond Turtles (Emys/Clemmys/Actinemys marmorata) here in Central Cali. The goals of the pilot year are to document nesting and overwintering in an insular population whose habitat dries out almost every year. We are also looking at the effect on these guys of the removal of a key predator, bullfrogs.

Wow, well concealed little blighter. If it wasn't for that bee dot, I would have passed it off as more dirt without closer inspection at the shell.
