Painted Turtles

Day 23 / Year 2
05.23.11
We found some Painted Turtles today (at least 5...one a baby).
After observing them for awhile, here are a few facts I now know about Painted Turtles:
1. They don't like people.
2. They dive underwater as soon as they see or hear you.
3. They see and hear VERY well.
4. They don't come back for a really LONG time (maybe never).
5. They are quite interesting creatures to watch.
