Western Pond Turtle laying eggs

Too bad.  Had to go to the property again today only to find that some predator managed to uncover the turtle nest and get the eggs.

You never what you might come across when out in the field showing property or other related activities in a real estate transaction. On Saturday, August 4th 2012 I was doing a visual inspection on a lakefront property in Konocti Bay, Kelseyville, Ca when right in the middle of this private drive was a turtle laying eggs.  Glad I thought to stop and get this little video clip.  It’s simple things like this make me appreciate living in Lake County CA. Enjoy!  Rick
