Notes
Spotted on road on way home from visiting my grandmother. Booked it off the road with surprising speed when spotted. Three others were spotted on roads in the local area and not vouchered on various days throughout the week, but the 6 seen on this day doubled the first four days combined. FWIW, the temperature reached the high 90s, though it wasn't that hot yet at 11am. Head color was extremely variable among the different turtles.
