Hi Jim:
We are always grateful for your guidance.=20
Barbara and I have just completed a comprehensive turtle identification =
search on the internet.
We are revising all turtles sighted to PAINTED, that is, "unsnapped" =
regardless of this conflicting with a third person present at our  =
sightings of yesterday, 16Apr12. Of the three turtles, 2 were sunbathing =
on rock and log. Clean, shiny, shells; small tails.=20
In summary, we did see red, we did see small tails on three of the 4 =
turtles, 3 on 16Apr, 1 on 17Apr.

One of the 3 turtles we reported yesterday was in a shallow drainage =
ditch, which contained enough water to allow the turtle to easily =
submerge itself: i.e.,  on our arrival it buried itself in the mud, =
water, weeds, grass: it did seem to have a significant tail, however, so =
much mud: colour was not obvious. The muddy turtle was larger than the =
other three reported, 2 yesterday, 1 today.
Back to turtle school for B & I.
This may be the end of my turtle ID'ing career....particularly if I =
include our having reported a Blandings turtle on the Des Brisay Museum =
property several years ago, comparing it to the specimen in the museum =
display case, I was told by staff present that there were NO Blandings =
Turtles on the museum property. Needless to write I was mortified.....
Cheers, Pat
