Eastern Box Turtle

July 04, 2015

I drove over to Allegan County today to look for some birds that I had never seen before. I didn't find the birds but was very lucky to stumble on this Eastern Box Turtle. It has been a very long time since I have seen one of these. When I was young I would see them every once in a while. But since then they have become quite scarce. I have heard that their decline is in part due to people taking them home because they want another pet..... sad isn't it?
I also saw my first ever Hognose Snake and a beautiful three foot long Blue Racer.
