Tonight while watering the yard. The neighbors starting making a lot of noise and I looked over and Becky said, "There is a turtle behind their car." We walked over and our neighbors were pointing at it while it was under the car. They "suggested" that we should move the turtle, and I said, "Really?" They were such city girls, "If I touch that thing I will faint, literally faint!". Well since we can't have any fainting going on, I walked over to our garage and got my gloves and a bucket and picked up the turtle and gave him a little ride down to the pond. We took him out of the bucket and placed him/her on the ground. The head poked up and looked around then in an instant he jumped in the water and took off. We were glad he wasn't run over.
While we were watching for it's head to pop up out of the water, we noticed some animals coming in and out of the water onto the island in the middle of pond. Trying to figure out what they were, squinting and staring at them we noticed they had really big tails. I do believe the pond behind in our neighborhood had beavers in it. We saw at least two of them and possibly a third. I can't believe we have beavers in Pflugerville!! Then I found this article from February in the American Statesman. We will have to keep an eye on our trees! No pictures as of yet because the battery was being charged today. Wish I had gotten some shots.
