A pond slider (𝘛𝘳𝘢𝘤𝘩𝘦𝘮𝘺𝘴 𝘴𝘤𝘳𝘪𝘱𝘵𝘢) waves hello:
MagrEn este #Taxojueves de #Testudines, ¿Sabían que estos bichos son tan resistentes que es el único vertebrado que anda por debajo del agua en las zonas más contaminadas del Riachuelo en Buenos Aires?
MikeFSome more yard-birds, today. I WAS going to go with my local Audubon crew on a walk at Jones Beach, where I MIGHT have observed a Dickcissel, American Pipit, Vesper Sparrow and Red-headed Woodpecker. Instead, I turned the alarm off...
Oh, well... I caught some nice views of some of the most common seasonal visitors to my yard and feeders. Except the Nuthatch. Not so common and a temporary resident.

A couple living in an area not far (in a vehicle) from the Marine Nature Study Area (Oceanside, NY) has a waterfront home near a Diamondback Terrapin nesting site. The estuarine Terrapins are now hatching, and the hatchlings manage to find a way into their garage. So, they release them in MNSA, which they consider safer than their waterfront. This speaks well of MNSA's reputation as a haven for wildlife and public awareness of the endangered status of these turtles, but may not be the best approach, as Diamondbacks, like other turtles, show strong territorial fidelity, and may seek to return to their hatching site when they are mature.

Danny Boling ☮️Here's your daily¹ reminder that turtles are not "inside" their shells. They *are* their shells.
