I am very lucky to have an amazing friend now that was willing to take me out in the field with him to track North American Wood Turtles and Eastern Box Turtles in populations he has been monitoring for the past 11 years. He has over 60 animals hooked up to radio transmitters. Awesome stuff.

Included in these shots are photos of come protective nest boxes, "rock bridges," created to hep turtles cross tracks, some beautiful habitats, spengleri food, and the coolest fungus I've ever seen.

Let me know what you think. I have written a blog post about the experience that I look forward to sharing that through our website soon….

This is great. Did you notice anything that jumped out at you as far as habitat or diet? Did you post the adventure on your blog?

The NA Wood Turtles are one of my favorites. Always wanted one. You got some great shots and you were so lucky to have that adventure.
