I was out at one of my favorite local spots yesterday (McLane Creek Nature Trail) and saw my first turtles in the wild. I don't know my turtles, so if anyone can identify these beasties, I'd sure appreciate it.

Looks like a Pacific Pond Turtle (Chelydra serpentina) and does get up into Washington, Oregon and down into California. Very nice captures by the way.
