[obol] Re: Western Pond Turtle

[Mike Patterson]

I finally saw the Tucker Creek turtle today.  It is not a
Western Pond Turtle.  It has yellow stripes on the face and
feet, the shell was uniformly olive green from above and 
yellow below.  I think it's a Painted Turtle.  

I have photos, but I doubt they will get anybody beyond
"not a Western Pond Turtle"
