Coming from an old farm dump sifter, I thoroughly enjoy walking the one field we have after it's been turned, always some broken pieces of old dishes or bowls, I have a coffee can full of the pieces some fit together, figure I'll be real old when and if I ever complete the puzzle.
Painted turtles nest all around my house, they come fair distance from the 20 something acre pond, to find sunny areas where the soil is heated by the sun. It's amazing the hatchlings make the return trip, skunks usually get the eggs right after they are laid in the nest, as a hobby I raise them every year and release them. Mark, protect the nest with hdwe cloth/steel mesh, wash the scent away from the nest so the skunks don't get em, dig em up 90 days later, they are ready to come out, but sometimes or most times stay put until the following spring, only animal that can technically freeze and live. Easy to keep, each has a different personality and they are actually pretty smart, don't like being handled much so if you let kids raise em, best to tell em that, and washing ones hands if you do handle them. I do have one that is real tame/relaxed though, which is odd they're usually high strung, they sure have a little personality though. Kids really get a kick out of them, my friends brought his son over when I released a bunch last year, he enjoyed it to no end.
This one came into the garage after laying eggs somewhere, was sitting at my desk down there and heard the funny clunking noise, thought one of my friends was out there trying to be funny, could not figure out what it was, until I looked down, she marched right into where I was working and just stayed there, was kind of odd to say the least, probably running late being after dark, so instead of letting her face the after dark predators that would make a meal of her, I put er up for the night and gave er a free ride back to the water at sun up. Funny little critters, read about a guy who has had a river cooter since a hatchling in 1959.
Note the mud on the fenders, she's been off roading a bit, that and some minor excavation !
