Notes
No red "ear." Hope to upload additional photographs in the future as I may be off on the ID. Initially sighted on the road as it attempted to cross from the creek pool on one side of the road to a pool on the other side. It moved back to its point of origin off the road, at which point I picked it up and placed it in its intended destination pool.
UPDATE 02 JUL 2015: Brian Hubbs says it's a Texas Cooter.
