I went on a quest to find a home-state "lifer" this afternoon. Here's what the habitat (a place that I have never been to) looked like.


It was quite warm for mid-March today - 80 degrees. I was beginning to think that maybe I should have went when it was still cooler outside. But wait, what's that movement over there in the water?


Not just one Spotted Turtle, but two breeding!


Males seemed much easier to come across.



It was a great day for herping - I also saw my first Green Frog, Eastern Garter Snakes and Northern Brown Snake of the year.
