This image of a fairly large snapping turtle was captured at the Kearney Outdoor Learning Center on Turkey Creek south of the Kearney, Nebraska High School by the water level measurement targets. The researchers at the site regularly wade around right there where the turtle is to clean and maintain the targets and equipment. It kind of makes me happy that I am not the one doing the wading and is giving pause to everyone else. The breadth of variety in the wildlife there at Turkey Creek is nothing short of amazing with owls, raccoons, herons, turtles and who knows what else.
