Morning Turtle

This snapper turtle was spotted this morning on Belle Island, exploring ‘the new nature play area for children’. Hopefully it is looking for a new place to lay eggs that is protected from predators and, hopefully, the new play area was not built where she used to lay eggs.
Something to keep in mind as humans want to do more development of the riverfront, even when it’s done in the names of parks and environment.
