Baby number 6 (20160929) a few other critters from the environment.

With a couple of days in between, it was time for another patrol along the rails. While the turtles were tough to find, Clarence and I did spot this beautiful Maritime Garter snake.
Another nice find this afternoon was this Pickerel frog.
Our next discovery was at the second hot-spot area and it was this rather large nest opening that we assumed was a predated (opened by predators) nest. We only assumed this because of the size of the opening. 
Once again on our return trip we spotted a baby turtle, right in Clarence's path. I have been told that there are two colour phases in Snappers; dark and cinnamon, This looks like a cinnamon unit.
Here is the little guy on his release log, all ready to start his new life in the safety of a pond. 
We finished out walk in this area with this very beautiful Maritime Garter. Our third snake of the day and a very light colouration specimen. I also found the patterning on this snake to be very unique!
Another very successful patrol and our saves now add up to 6 so far for the year!
Take some time today and put a little wild in your life!
