This morning we went for a walk around the trail, which also goes around the pond, and look what we found. A turtle laying eggs on the trail, she had dug a hole and was in ther process of dropping eggs in. We didn't actually get to see her drop one, we didn't want to disturb her too much so we stopped only for a bit and kept walking. When we came around the second time, she had this egg good and visible and looked like she just dropped it. We could see two eggs in the hole. We walked around again and by the time we got back, she had the eggs covered and was still covering them and packing down the dirt. We had the dogs with us and she really didn't seem to mind us that much, she was cautious but decided we weren't too bad so she would just go about her business. We sat there and watched her and I even took video of her covering them. Very interesting seeing her in the process.
