Today we had two turtles cruise through the yard. It appears that the turtles are laying eggs in the woods or in our yards then heading back to the lake. Icee, LaLa and Chili discovered this turtle having a hard time trying to get around our fenced yard today. John eventually put her in the woods only to return to the yard to find another turtle also looking for a way out. He put this one in the woods too in case they were a pair. We believe that they are Yellow Bellied Sliders, but we could be wrong. If you can identify them let me know. John's brother, Tom, calls them Cooters. Later on I found another turtle in the yard making it three turtles passing through. I put this one on the other side of the fence and it took off for the lake. When it got close to the water it actually ran. I didn't know turtles could move that fast.
