Field Notes
Description:
A belated happy "World Turtle Day!" The preceding photo gallery features a time-series of six photos showing an Eastern Snapping Turtle blowing bubbles in the water. Do turtles play? (I liked to use a drinking straw to blow bubbles in a glass of milk when I was a child.) Related Resource: World Turtle Day http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/World_Turtle_Day
