Waiting for the grass to dry a bit bsfore mowing I walked around where the garden is going,I'd say this hot spell we're having triggered the layin season,saw 3 snappers laying

eggs or at least trying to,they could only dig down about 3 inches and eventually gave up,one in the road when I left.I sure would like to get a few eggs and incubate them,it would be awesome to watch them hatch.

I need to carry an umbrella for harsh morning light.

Later afternoon I went to the Enfield Dam and saw this mallard hen when I looked down into the canal,I really believe by looking at the first pic and then the second one she covers those eggs when shes gone,pretty cool camo.

I saw one crossing from a field to a woods across the road last week
I helped him across, but didn't think about egg laying, figured it was looking for food

I had to keep circling the one in the road trying to get behind her,she wanted to keep an eye on me.

Great pictures, Chris. It sure is egg-laying time for the snapping turtles around here. They are making the coons and possums very happy! That mallard hen picture is really neat. In a couple of days she'll have a bunch of little fluff balls following her around.
