And a turtle

This is the turtle we saw washed up on the edge of the Harlem River this afternoon (it's probably 4 or 5 inches long (10-12 cm)):

Trachemys scripta elegans. I didn't know they entered brackish water.

It's interesting that the water is clean enough to support such creatures.

We've done a pretty good job of cleaning up the harbor, and the river, in the last few decades.
