TURTLE TRACKS

"BONES TRACKS"

DAY 83

Location: Bones has moved ~20' SE of his day 82 location. He near the edge of the forest about 30 feet from the driveway on the north side of the house.

Habitat: Mixed hardwoods with Mtn. Laurel and blueberry understory. Bones was so hidden in the wet fallen fall colored leaves that I couldn't see him even when I was looking right at him--his camouflage is amazing!! (photo taken with cell phone camera--sorry for the low resolution.)

Activity Status: H/O on surface.
