FaunaClassifieds - Basha Kill New York

So Monday 5/20 my girlfriend Laura and I decided to forget about everything for the day and head out to see what we can find out in the Basha Kill. For anyone who loves birds it's known for having the most species of birds in one place anywhere in the US. It also has tons of fish and reptiles all over the more than 2,000 acres. I was lucky enough to grow up here and spent tons of time wandering through here checking out all the wildlife and fishing. I decided to show her around and try to see what kinds of reptiles we could catch. First check out the view and I'll add a bunch of pics of what we saw.

Unfortunately, the small snapping turtle we found first had its lower jaw ripped off and its neck was wide open. Most likely from another snapper.
