I think I saw a flash of red along its head before it retracted it. It was having trouble climbing up the curb after crossing the road so I helped it up.
Found in backyard. Might be common snapping turtle, but the ridges led me to believe it was an alligator snapping turtle.
Chillin in the middle of a hiking path
Snacking on a checkered garter.
It's amazing how well it camouflages into the dirt!
Observed on grape leaves in an urban park
it was very talkative and kept playing with the other bird in the tree
