There has been a lot of turtle activity on both the MRG and NRT recently, with mama turtles digging holes in which to lay their eggs. This one was digging in the hardpack at the Glen Road access to the MRG. She was digging a hole with her hind legs and totally committed to her task, ignoring the curious humans who were fascinated by her activity. She was so vulnerable! Thanks to trishaw pilot Chipper Ashley for this photo and for the ride on the trishaw! The calls of birds, a leaping deer, and shade on a hot day were added attractions to today’s ride.
