Any idea what this critter is?

Answer Thursday. (Phoro taken with a trailcam…)

The Fyke Nature Association wants to know what you like and don’t like about the Celery Farm Nature Preserve.

Nic Korte, an excellent owler out West who was so helpful for The Screech Owl Companion, writes:

 A big thank you to all the drivers who looked out for turtles along Franklin Turnpike by the Celery Farm  in the past month, and a big thank you to the Allendale Police Department for putting up the sign.

  The sign was there not just to protect turtles but also motorists who might need to swerve to avoid hitting a large snapping turtle as it crossed the road.

   Now that breeding season is over, I can post this shot of an Eastern Box Turtle who had just about made it across the road when I encountered it. These are some of the most beautiful turtles in the world, and it’s nice to know that I live in a town that cares about these guys and their cousins. Their ancestors have lived here long before humans drove cars.

   My neighbor took this photo of a Snapping Turtle below that had just crossed the road, likely after laying eggs.

  The box turtle is the size of a softball, and the snapper is the size of Roomba.

Can you I.D. this bird? Where on the web might you see this photo? (Too arcane? Sorry.)
