A Baby Painted Turtle Found My Pond

Two days ago I found a baby Painted turtle in my yard. I brought it over to a nearby natural pond. Then a few hours later I found a second one just feet away from where I found the first. I also brought that one over to the natural pond. Two days later, and here I find a third next to my own pond! At first I thought it was a bottle cap. Then I walked over to it and realized it was a turtle. I wonder how many more I might find. They were clearly from a nest somewhere in my grass or gardens.

This is fabulous to see! We never have turtles find our ponds. SO COOL!

It was so exciting! I apparently had a nest somewhere in my yard. When the temperatures warmed one day, they started appearing. I found three in total.
