| May 25, 2010 - While working on her computer, Karen Duquette glanced out the window of her RV and saw a red-headed woodpecker, so she grabbed her camera and ran out the door to take photos. She was very lucky to get these two photos because birds do not stay still for long, they just fly away. | |

decided to walk around and photograph more birds. |

| The Diamondback terrapin (Malaclemys terrapin) or simply terrapin, is a species of turtle native to the brackish coastal swamps of the eastern and southern United States, from as far north as Cape Cod, Massachusetts and as far south as Cape Sable, Florida. The name "terrapin" is derived from the Algonquian word torope. The name originally was used by early European settlers in North America to describe these brackish-water turtles that inhabited neither freshwater habitats nor the sea. It retains this exclusive use in American English. In British English, however, other semi-aquatic turtle species, such as the red-eared slider, might be called a terrapin. |

|
| The species is named for the diamond pattern on top of its shell, but the overall pattern and coloration varies greatly by species. Their shell coloring can vary from browns to greys, and their body color can be grey, brown, yellow, or white. All have a unique pattern of wiggly, black markings or spots on their body and head. No Terrapins were seen during our visit. | |
