Audubon Center Bent of the River

This place is GORGEOUS. I never thought I'd be into birdwatching, but they have SO much more here - beavers, turtles, etc. And they're very comfortable with humans so they'll get close and are used to cameras!

The other day I went walking along the main trail and passed by a turtle laying her eggs! It was SUCH a beautiful and humbling experience. I tried to stay back and quiet so as not to stress her out, but I managed to get a BEAUTIFUL video before leaving her to it. And when I came back around she was done and resting

I took some screenshots of the video as I can't seem to post it and added them below as well as a few others

I remember the spot and plan to come by every so often to see if I can catch them hatching

The whole place is just a beautiful sanctuary for animals and humans to interact calmly and safely. If you keep your eyes peeled you can see amazing things here
