Turt2, Where Are You?

Holy water surplus, batman. We may need a boat this season (ha).


So here is the 'what's what'. Turts #1 and #8 are kicking it in the HP swale with a 3rd unknown/untagged adult. Turt5 is still lurking in OM, with no real movement since last summer (wth?). Turts 4 and 7 are definitively in the ERes, caught a good look at 7 and her tag has almost no coloring left, it's shiny white. The signal for Turt4 has taken on a distinct mechanized tone that makes me think it's about to die on us. And Turt 3 is still in the willow thicket near the lower pumphouse, which is also currently home to a momma bobcat and her kittens. Please Tread Lightly and stay at least 10m away from the pumphouse, I'd rather not force her to move with kittens so young.

Turt2 is still an unknown, either her brand new tag is dead, or else she went walkabout and got out of our range very very quickly. Part of me hopes it's the latter, although I doubt it.
