Do you know what these are?
Colonel Mustard came across them on the shore of our lake right in front of our cabin. He thought they might be bones. They’re not. There were about 50 or so, scattered and curled around a shallow hole scooped out of the shore.
That’s right; turtle eggs! At first, we were afraid something (a raccoon?; hopefully not our dogs) had dug up the nest in the night and feasted on them. The shells were pretty scattered around on shore. But later, we were poking around the water’s edge near the nest and we found this guy.
So at least one survived. (Don’t worry, after a short stay in our critter keeper, we sent him back out into the world.)
So what have you found on a walk lately that stumped you at first?
