I've been off and on BP so much lately that I missed this fella entirely and I LOVE turtles! :) What a super Finalist, Pat and a cool find - right in your own backyard, to boot!! (I remember when we lived on LI many years ago, all the land turtles we'd see pretty often - glad they're still there considering all the massive development in your area!) Congratulations!! #9564179
