My Column: State Line Hawk Watch
A view of State Line Lookout and the Hudson River beyond in Alpine. By Jim WrightSpecial to The Record |…
I found this young (native) Painted Turtle in my driveway yesterday afternoon after nearly stepping on him.
Celery Farm Marsh Warden Mike Limatola carried the youngster to the stream/ditch behind my house and set the little guy free.
Again, a coin magically appeared next to the turtle. I'm just guessing, but I'd say this young turtle was roughly the size of a quarter, give or take a penny.
I did not realize he had a pocket big enough.
One for money, two for the show…..so cute.
Sweet!
