Snapping Turtle Laying Eggs

Back in early May, Dan Moriarty sent a photo of a snapping turtle he had spotted on the MRG on a rainy day. She must have been doing reconnaissance, looking for a good place to lay eggs. At the end of May, he spotted her again . . .and indeed, she had found a sandy spot to lay her eggs. Isn’t it encouraging to know that, behind all the development on the Miracle Mile, there is this other world ?! Ah, the Mascoma River and the MRG! Thanks for sharing, Dan!
