Last fall my brother, Tucker (directly behind me in the Fedora hat), better known as, Birdman in Bridgewater, organized a bird walk at Charlestown Breachway and Trustom Pond. Individuals from all over the Northeast and Long Island joined us. I was the only Rhode Islander involved. It was a fairly sophisticated group of birders. We had a wonderful time birding and seeing some life timers and it was so much fun. However, one of the most interesting things that happened that day was a sighting of an enormous snapping turtle submerged in the pond, near the Osprey lookout. At the time, we were unable to identify what it was eating but easily realized something quite large. Anyway the next day I went out to Trustom Pond and I found it sunning itself on a rock way out in the pond. Probably trying to digest the meal from the day before. The post above this one shows the Snapping Turtle resting on the rock. It was huge!
