While collecting creatures on a somewhat chilly morning down at the Coxing, Cathy (another educator in our department) and I stumbled upon something 'yellow' amongst the brown leaf litter in the Coxing Kill. After moving a bunch of the leaves around, we discovered NOT ONE...but TWO turtles. Unfortunately, we did disturb the two doing some 'intimate' activities, which caused them to separate and escape their separate ways. Got some photos of them and released them on their merry way. After some research we discovered they were Wood Turtles. I had never seen them that large before. Still a cool find.
