It was such a treat to see our first Box Turtle this season walking up our driveway. It is so much fun to watch the Box Turtles as they meander through the yard, trying to decide the perfect spot to lay their eggs.
Hopefully, one of them will decide to make their nest in our yard. That would be so cool!
Fun fact:
“Eastern box turtles walk energetically with their heads upright and may travel about 50 meters (55 yards) in one day. A homing instinct, an innate ability to navigate to a “home base” despite being in an unfamiliar area, helps this turtle find its way back home.”
