Today, like most of the past week, was rainy. Regardless I was scheduled to go out and investigate the North Branch of Au Sable watershed. With the rain, we decided to cover the upper headwaters area from Otsego Lake down to Lovells.
The rainy weather and season was perfect for turtles to be out and about making nests and laying eggs. We came upon this gal at the end of her efforts. While she was preoccupied we shot a few pictures to record the event. Snappers are known for their long life, so the reproduction of the species is in fact an real monumental event.
