Western Painted Turtle


True story. In 1985 there was a Church welfare farm up at Warm Springs. On a work project cleaning out ditches, I was scooping muck out of a cement culvert with a flat bottom shovel when up came a Western Painted Turtle, about 12-15 inches long, snapping and very unhappy at being disturbed. I wish I had taken a photo. We left him to his domain.
