What a beautiful morning for a long walk on the beach and we were rewarded by finding a turtle! But....Not the kind we were looking for. Around marker 3, we found a beautiful Diamond Back Terrapin (As identified by Karen ), laying in the wet sand by the water line. He was about 6 inches long. Because the tide was still coming in, we moved him back to the dunes line and continued on our walk. Returning from the jetty, we searched for him but he had already continued on his journey and was not to be found. Karen emailed me that they live in salt marshes. This one may have got caught up in the currents which swept him up on the shore where we found him. Otherwise the beach was quiet although we did see many fox tracks so know the fox is also making rounds, looking for nests. Linda
