One of the last remaining memorial birch trees in the HLFM Jr. Nature Sanctuary along Bell Hill Ave came down in the storm. Sadly not salvageable.

Do these photos, taken two years apart, show the same turtle? Last week, Jeff Edwards spotted a Diamondback Terrapin near the Oyster Pond - the first sighting on Fishers Island since 1984 (right). Or so we thought!

One week later, Laura Chapman helped revised the record with this photo (left) of another Diamondback Terrapin taken in 2018, near the Water Works.

Compare the shell patterns, coloration, and scars. Are these two different turtles or one and the same? Let us know below.
