Turtles & Mergansers

WREN recently received a couple of wildlife photos to share. The first is a Western Pond Turtle taken by photographer Steve Reed in the mid-Willamette Valley. These turtles can often be seen right here in the West Eugene Wetlands, especially in Amazon Creek, basking in the sun! Doesn't this one look like it is wearing a big grin?!

The second photo was sent to us by Kenny Lee Mock: a pair of Hooded Mergansers in Amazon Creek.

Thank you for sharing these photos!
