The Return of Turt 2


She's close. Oh so close.... Yesterday I tracked her to a spot about 100y south of the cistern in OM. Today she was busily foraging in a shallow puddle within sight of the ERES!


There are also 6 and a half (the wee beast) turts in the res without tags. Start passing the hat. We need about 4 more tags to get the whole adult population. Also in the ERES is a loverly pair of wood ducks which may be nesting beneath the willow. Turt 4's tag triangulates down that end, but I kept my distance due to the duckness. Turt 1 and 7 are still buried deep beneath the ground in their overwintering spots. turt5 is still hanging out in OM and turt 3 was looking around as if debating the trek up the hill to the Res.
