Yesterday we were checking out the bird feeder area when we saw a turtle in the area laying her eggs. We have had a turtle in previous years doing this and I guess she was back again. She has to travel around 75 yards from the river to get to this spot. Not sure why she likes it as it is just plain black dirt. Don't know if the eggs hatch, we have never seen any little ones. Here are a couple pictures.
She had finished laying her eggs and was on the way back to the river. I didn't get the camera soon enough to get her in the act.
This is the spot where she laid the eggs and buried them.
She had made it to the rocks and had easier walking on her trip back to the river.
Sort of sad that mother turtles lay their eggs and never know if they hatched or not.
