Title: Blanding's Turtle

Saw this Blanding's Turtle crossing Wylie Road at the Carden Alvar.  I have reported it to the Zoo's Ontario turtle tally.

This is cool. I saw him too while walking back from the Sedge Wren marsh to Windmill Ranch  where I parked my car. He looked up as I crossed his path. My knowledge of turtle is limited - I didn't know at that time what kind it was.
