Log Rolling Contest

A very crowded log in Delta Ponds. It looks like they are having a log rolling contest. I think all of the turtles are Red-eared Sliders, which seem to be taking the ponds over from the native Pond Turtles.

According to USGS - "The Red-eared Slider's indigenous range broadly covers the midwestern states and extending as far east as West Virginia and a disjunct (relict) population in southern Ohio, as far west as eastern New Mexico, and as far south as south of the Rio Grande River into northeastern Mexico."

Release of pets has caused their increased presence in other areas.

Great shot of the sunbathing turtles. I've seen such behaviour in Malaysia as well. V

Wow, what a crowd! Terrapins were very popular in the uk and there used to be one released pet in my local patch of water, but to see that many turtles must be awesome! ~v~

The pond needs a few more logs or a few less turtles. Nice wildlife behavior photo, Vern. They're all over the fresh water ponds in Louisiana too. Vote.

That's a bunch of them! Looks like the log is tied down. Someone must have put it there for the wildlife

Vern,the bus company should use this as "The turtle line"

Terrific shot. I wonder if they all tumble off if one in the middle decides to get off! ;)
