"Three Maps On Rock Island" by Debbie Oppermann. I love turtles so was especially pleased to see three Northern Map Turtles basking on the rock island at Shawanaga River Ontario Canada and with a lovely water reflection. These species of concern, at the slightest hint of danger, slip in to the water. The Map Turtles are a freshwater turtle and the light markings resemble the contours of a map, hence the name. They can be found in ponds, lakes, rivers and bays. They like large bodies of water and areas with fallen trees, are carnivorous and feed on molluscs, insects and crayfish.

This Map Turtle was basking on a submerged tree branch, exposing it's limbs to take in the maximum of sun and heat available on late spring morning.

Nice to see an adult and young of the Northern Map Turtles. They are a first time inhabitant of a local pond.

2 Northern Map Turtles were found sunning themselves in a local park pond. Normally very skittish, I was allowed to close enough by slowly approaching and taking a few photos as I stopped a safe distance away.

We had just returned to shore after a morning of canoeing around the lake during a camping trip when I saw this Northern Map Turtle laying eggs near the boat launch. It was our last day at the campground, so we didn't get the chance to check in again, but we did alert the park employees, so we're optimistic that those baby turtles are going to be given a good fighting chance, despite hatching into a high foot-traffic area.

A Herd of Turtles I had headed to my favourite park in search of Wood Ducks when I came across a turtle trio consisting of three different species on the same log - a Red-eared Slider, a Painted turtle as well as a Northern Map turtle which is a rare find at this park.

Each summer on our way to Bob's Lake, we have a contest to guess the number of turtles basking as we cross the causeway over Green Bay in South Frontenac, Ontario. The winner is the person with the closest number ABOVE the actual number seen. No one wins if there are ZERO turtles seen. Our son always guesses ‘32’ and only a few times he has won, including on the day this photo was taken i.e. with a new camera which allowed me to zoom in without disturbing them and to see for the first time the type of turtle we were counting (at least on that day).
