TURTLE TRACKS

"MOJO'S TRACKS"

DAY 19:


Location: Mojo has not moved from his previous location. He is still in the area of very dense briers that I had to cut a trail through to find him on day 14. He is buried in the leaf litter under a 3" diameter American Holly tree and as you can see from the above photo only his transmitter and a small part of his shell is visible.

Activity status: Inactive

Habitat: South facing slope on the northern edge of the old field. The tree cover is a regnerating forest of young American Holly, Dogwood, Poplar and Red Maple and with a ground cover and understory of Greenbrier, Multiflora Rose, Blackberry, Blueberry and mixed grasses.
