Nature Done Wright

A week ago, a Painted Turtle laid her eggs in the backyard  (next to the Celery Farm).

The next morning, I found a dead fish in the back driveway and the turtle eggs dug up and eaten.

I asked what happened, and what the fish was.

I suspected that a raccoon dug up the turtle eggs and dropped the fish. Marianne Herrmann suspected the same.

As for the fish, answers ranged from crappie to carp to pumpkinseed to rock bass. Tough one.
