I GOT HIM (or her)!

| Caught you red-handed! or clawed..... |
It happened quite by accident. I noticed a gaggle (or herd? flock? murder? who knows....) of turkeys passing awfully close to the garden, so I ran out to chase them. I swung by the garden on the way back inside, mostly to see if another honeydew was ready. Them BOOM! there it was.
This little thieving turtle....

| Pretty looking lil' fella (an Eastern Box Turtle, FWIW). But not in MY garden! |
Now, I like turtles. A lot. I think they are really cool animals. I always am a little sad to see one as roadkill. but eating my cantaloupes is simply not cool.
I picked him up and released him at the creek area, an overgrown wet-weather area with plenty of little homes for a good turtle. And it's a LONG walk back to the garden with no shelter. So he'll be fine, as will my fruit. I hope.
