This is a female Eastern Box Turtle that I found at West Meadow Beach in Setauket. The reason I know she’s female is that she was starting to dig a nest when I found her. There are other ways to discern the gender of a Box Turtle but nesting behavior is generally a dead giveaway. JK

In my previous post I mentioned that I was waiting for birds near the artesian well at West Meadow Beach. These two photographs are an example of why I visit the well. Several species of birds enjoy taking baths in the puddle that forms there. This Catbird is just one of many birds that come by for a freshwater bath. The water, by the way, is absolutely delicious.
