  1. What looked good at the cafeteria and I really wanted -
    The special: chicken wings w choice of dipping sauce, cole slaw, & parmesan french fries. For dessert, turtle cheesecake (huge blob of caramel on top).

  3. "Pilot who died in N.C. plane crash tried to avoid a turtle on airport runway"

    That pilot was of one mind with my ex-wife.

    Me: "Good grief! You almost sent us into that tree. What the heck?!"

    Her: "I wanted to avoid the squirrel."

  4. Turtle identification is challenging. I had thought, based on photographs I saw online after searching "turtles New Jersey", that this individual was a Painted Turtle. I uploaded the photo to iNaturalist where amateur naturalists, John Keisers, suggested that this was a Northern Red-bellied Cooter.

    The Northern Red-bellied Cooter (Deirochelys reticularia) is a freshwater turtle species native to North America. It belongs to the Emydidae family and is characterised by its medium to large size, domed carapace, and distinctive red markings on its plastron. This species typically inhabits slow-moving or still bodies of water such as ponds, lakes, marshes, and rivers with soft bottoms and abundant aquatic vegetation.

    Northern Red-bellied Cooters are omnivorous, feeding on a variety of plant matter, aquatic vegetation, insects, crustaceans, and occasionally small fish. They are known to bask on logs or rocks near the water's edge to regulate their body temperature. Breeding season for this species occurs in late spring and early summer, with females laying eggs in sandy or soft soil near the water. Northern Red-bellied Cooters play a role in aquatic ecosystems as both consumers and prey for other predators in their habitat.

  8. Been working on this #rshiny visualization for my masters #research. Its more functional than it is pretty. Wish I could share a link, but it contains a bunch of use notes for my advisor at the top 😂

    This visualization has been the single most useful tool for understanding my results. It connects various #phylogenetic, #conservation, #bioclimatic, and #geographic data for the worlds #turtles in a single interactive page.

    Next step is to add @Wwf ecoregions as a comparison map.

  9. Turtle hatchlings emerge from their nests this time of year. They don't have an easy trip to the water. They may have to cross roads or parking lots and evade predators on the way. And sometimes they run into a lawn mower, like this poor dude. He lost two feet and half of another, and the side of his shell, but he's been hanging on for five days. And he tried to bite me, which is a good sign. (I survived the attack.)
