Spotted Turtle
Clemmys guttata

Field Notes
Description:
Spotted Turtle sitting in a patch of algae at Prime Hook National Wildlife Refuge
Habitat:
Marsh area
Notes:
I initially thought this was a Eastern Painted Turtle, and didn't realize it was a Spotted Turtle until I looked at the pictures later on. Spotted Turtles are fairly rare in my area and one of only 3 species of local turtle I haven't had the chance to see. I learned two things from the experience: 1. I need glasses and 2. I need to go back for better pictures.
