Northern Map Turtles (2 photos)

This small one was basking in the sunshine - about 15cm (6 inches)in length. It's shedding
some shell as it grows some more.



Then this one emerged and crawled up the log behind it. I was able to get some photos
before the guy in a blue kayak paddled by right beside the log scaring them away. He makes a habit of
doing this when he sees photographers - grrrr.

Ottawa River at Andrew Haydon Park, Ottawa

Deux splendides photos avant d'être apeurées par cette personne désagréable!

Great find and two well captured images Linda. Must almost be a first to find a Map Turtle at AHP.

Two amazing closely detailed and beautiful shots of this not very common turtle. Excellent work. Less excellent and puzzling is the behaviour of the kayaker!?

Two wonderful captures. That second one is a big boy.

Both excellent, but I especially like the two of them together, such a difference in size. I have a word for that guy but wouldn't use it here ;-).
