This blog is for our students at AC-S HS, outlining what we do in my classes and what we will be doing in the next day or two. This blog allows students and family members to know what we are working on each day.

Snapping turtle ... in the garage!
This week, I heard something moving around inside the garage, the garage doors were closed and it was late afternoon. I thought it might be a raccoon since one was raiding our sunflower seed in the garage last week. Instead, it was a common snapping turtle looking for a new home. It was small with a shell about 9" long. I saw a much larger version in our front field about a month ago. We are about a quarter mile from any significant water so the little fellow was on a significant road trip. I put him in a 5 gallon bucket and drove down the the boat dock on the Barren River to release him. He seemed happy to be back in the water!
