Notes

group of 4 cooters (I'm fairly sure) basking. They had the bright yellow lines, no red stripe, etc. I could have confused them with RES's I guess (and I did see at least one RES in the river but failed to get a picture); if you think that's the case let me know.

there's a fifth turtle barely visible (by the group in the back, submerged) but it never got to any place I could even semi-reliably ID it.

edited to put in 2 cropped images as well as the original

OK, the original picture was much higher res and more useful; is there a way to force the resoultion to stay high? I can't crop it and keep all the turtles in the shot.
