Saw these briefly going in for a hike. They were on the opposite side later in the day. Too far for a clear determination but they are either sliders or pond turtles.

Turtles are prey to possum and racoons. Both occur here at the Cosumnes River wetlands preserve. Because it is govt. property, it would not be a great idea to be seen helping. Driving cautiously would be a good idea.

Describe what happened. Example
"Mother Blanding had made her nest between the goldenrod and bluestem outside my window late last June.
By chance we were sitting on the porch when we noticed little blandings in the same location we had seen the mother take 2 months earlier."
