So, in all my life, I've never seen this kind of turtle before.
It was along the shores edge, in the water hiding with part of
his body hidden.
But my eye caught the funny shape and color, since I'm always scanning the rocks for crawfish, reached down and scoop up this little guy.
It's a Trionychidae, soft shelled turtle. Coolest find in a long time. The Ct River sure is full of surprises.
I made a little video, a little shakey at times, I got a cramp in my leg..........:)



I been told this is a rare find, so I posted this and I do have video
of it also.
Found up in the Suffield side of the CT River down from Stony Brook.
