Saw 2 species of turtles today in Bridgewater, on the trail round the pond =
behind the DesBrisay Museum. One adult Painted Turtle was basking on a rock=
 in the pond, and a much smaller (juvenile?) along the trail.=A0Farther alo=
ng, near where people feed the ducks, we saw a different kind of turtle cra=
wl out of a muddy stream and onto the trail. It had a large blunt snout, ve=
ry warty legs and a larger tail than the Painted Turtle, also its plastron =
wasn't visible from where we stood. The turtle was about 12 inches nose to =
tail. Despite it being covered with ocher-colored mud, I feel pretty sure t=
his was a Snapping Turtle. We watched it for about 20 minutes before we con=
tinued our way.Janet & Peter=0A=0A=0A      ________________________________=
