Surprise Visitor

Wildlife is everywhere on a farm so I shouldn't be surprised when it shows up in the yard.
 But this one was a bit of a shock.
 Considering we are on top of a very high hill, way above the creek, I just didn't expect a snapping turtle in the yard.
 He was a cute thing and not all that shy about getting a picture taken.
But he was also pretty quick.  When we came back from feeding the goats, he was gone.  Hopefully, he made it back to the water.

  3. I found one of them in the middle of the road last summer, and had to use a crowbar (the only "safe" thing in the truck to move him with) to get him to the side of the road. He was NOT a happy camper!
