Nearby Nature

Birds at the park:



Turtle at the train station (there is a wetlands area right next to the parking lot).



While we were there, another similarly sized turtle surfaced. This guy went under, swam out to her, and tried (unsuccessfully) to mate with her. Mikro was fascinated, and I am sure he'll be going on about it to anyone who will listen.

"Wow, mama, I've never seen turtles mate before! Can we stay and see if they do it again?"

My little naturalist is a turtle voyeur...

Peace and Laughter,
