Herpetofauna - One Life's List

Common Map Turtle
Graptemys geographica

Current River, near Eminence, Missouri.  June 1972
 

  This was the most common turtle I saw on the Current River during that float trip long ago.  Almost every log had a Map Turtle or a slider perched on it.  I hope to return to the Current some day and hopefully photograph this species.
